Alabama pedophile sentenced to 30 years for texting mother and asking to have sex with 9-year-old daughter
A pedophile in Alabama was sentenced to 30 years in prison Tuesday after he asked a woman he met on an internet dating site if he could engage in sexual intercourse with her 9-year-old daughter twice a week, according to reports.
The Department of Justice, in a press release, announced that the man, identified as 37-year-old Randall Keith Midkiff, pleaded guilty to a felony count of attempted enticement of a child. He was also ordered to register as a sex offender.
Midkiff reportedly admitted to having met a woman on an online dating site and engaging in sexual conversation with her. The woman immediately refused after he asked her if he could engage in sexual activity with her daughter. The concerned mother, after talking to Midkiff, alerted the Washington County Sheriff's Office of what had just happened and gave the details of her conversation with the 37-year-old.
Reports stated that Midkiff, however, continued to persist and texted the mother, telling her they could get married if she allowed him to have sex with her daughter twice a week. Midkiff was promptly arrested by Washington County authorities while he was driving around in the area.
Reports stated that the suspect, while talking to police, also admitted that he was called to repair a broken air conditioner once in 2017 in Mobile, where he met a woman and began texting her and learned she had a 14-year-old daughter.
He reportedly reached out to the teen on Facebook and told her she was pretty, he also messaged her on the app KIK and asked her if she would be interested in meeting him for sex. Midkiff even offered to pick the girl up so that they could head to somewhere private, according to the press release.
He also told the teen he was soon going to move in with her mother so that they could have sex at the home. The pedophile, at the same time, texted the girl's mother, telling her that he was going to move in to help take care of the family.
Federal judge Callie V. S. Granade, during Midkiff's sentencing, also ordered him to be placed under permanent probation once he is released from prison.
