A 23-year-old North Platte man has been sentenced to federal prison for taking a 13-year-old girl out of the state for sex.
Michael Stansall pleaded guilty to transportation of a minor with intent to engage in sexual activity.
On Friday, U.S. District Judge John Gerrard sentenced him to 10 years in prison, followed by 15 years of supervised release. He also was ordered to pay $1,932.48 to the victim's family for counseling she got after the crime.
According to court records, Stansall met with a 13-year-old girl in North Platte on June 7, 2013, and took her by car to Wray, Colorado, where he sexually assaulted her.
