Four men have been charged with attempted enticement of a minor to engage in sexual activity. Rolando Hernandes, Mark Hanna, James Daniel Stinchcomb, and William Sage were arrested separately for attempting to entice a minor to engage in sexual activity.

“During the Thanksgiving holiday our federal and local law enforcement partners remained vigilant in an effort to identify individuals targeting minors online for unlawful sex acts,” said U.S. Attorney Byung J. “BJay” Pak. “Those who attempt to prey on children should know that they face arrest and jail when they seek to exploit the youngest members of our community.”

“The FBI will always be vigilant in pursuing those who choose to prey on our most vulnerable citizens, our children,” said Chris Hacker, Special Agent in Charge of FBI Atlanta. “I would like to thank our law enforcement partners and their task force officers as part of the FBI’s Metro Atlanta Child Exploitation and Human Trafficking (MATCH) task force for their commitment to making these arrests.”

According to U.S. Attorney Pak, the charges and other information presented in court: between on or about November 19, 2019, through on or about December 6, 2019, the FBI communicated online with several men during undercover operations targeting adults seeking minors for sex. The operation resulted in the arrests of four men: Sage, Hernandes, Hanna, and Stinchcomb.
