A man convicted in a child sex case in 2011 in Georgia has registered an address in the Village of Hillsborough.
Michael Lewis Young, 54, is living at 2093 Ironton Place in the Ventura Villas, according to the Florida Department of Law Enforcement. He has registered two vehicles, a bronze 2000 Nissan license plate number BGH7205 and a gray 2013 Nissan license plate number CKBM39.
He was living in Dunwoody, Ga. when he was arrested July 31, 2010 on two counts of criminal attempt to commit child molestation, two counts of criminal attempt to commit aggravated child molestation and computer pornography.
Young visited Craigslist and looked in the “Casual Encounters” section for sexual companionship, according to court documents. He encountered a listing seeking a “discreet” male who “would like to teach the finer aspects of life to a young female friend of mine.” The listing was placed by a police detective working with an FBI task force investigating crimes against children. Young responded expressing interest, describing his body and penis size and attaching a photo of himself in the nude.
The detective and Young then proceeded to negotiate a meeting time and place. The detective described two fictitious “beautiful stepdaughters,” ages 14 and 12. Young later asked if the girls were developing breasts. Young promised to teach the girls how to properly perform oral sex.
A meeting was set up at a hotel, where Young was arrested. The entire email exchange took place over the course of four days. At the time of his arrest, Young’s license plate had been removed, he had a note with the detective’s email address and phone number and, as discussed in emails, Young’s vehicle contained a pack of condoms and some wine coolers.
The tax bill for the villa where Young is now living is mailed to an address in Shelby, Ohio.
