Former W.Va. elementary teacher pleads guilty to sexual enticement of a minor
A man who responded to a Internet sex sting plead guilty Feb. 27 to sexual enticement of a minor – federal, county and Leesburg law enforcement announced today.
Douglas E. Hunt, 51, of Charles Town, W.Va., responded to an Internet ad by an undercover detective with the Leesburg Police Department, according to court documents. Further communication with Hunt resulted in his offer to pay $200 for sexual activity with two girls, ages 12 and 13. On Dec. 4, 2008, Hunt arrived at a pre-arranged location in Leesburg, paid the undercover detective $220 and obtained a hotel room key for the room where the young girls were allegedly waiting.
Hunt was subsequently arrested on his way to the hotel room.
He will be sentenced May 22 and faces a mandatory minimum prison sentence of 10 years. Upon his release from incarceration, Hunt will remain under court supervision for a term of at least five years to life. He also will be required to register as a sex offender in any U.S. jurisdiction in which he lives, works or attends school.
As a special condition of his supervised release, Hunt, a West Virginia elementary school teacher at the time of his Dec. 4 arrest, will be required to surrender any teaching licenses he currently holds in any state including, but not limited to, West Virginia.
This investigation was conducted by the Leesburg Police Department, the Loudoun County Sheriff’s Office and the Federal Bureau of Investigation. The case is being prosecuted in the Eastern District of Virginia by Special Assistant United States Attorney Andrew McCormack, who is on detail from the Child Exploitation and Obscenity Section of the Department of Justice.
