KANSAS CITY, Mo. – A Colorado man was sentenced in federal
court today for traveling to Kansas City, Mo., to meet an undercover FBI agent,
whom he believed to be a mother with her 7-year-old daughter, for illicit
sexual activity.
Ryan Edward Mausner, 43, of Basalt, Colo., was sentenced by
U.S. District Judge Greg Kays to 14 years in federal prison without parole.
On Feb. 13, 2019, Mausner pleaded guilty to the online
enticement of a minor. Mausner admitted that from Jan. 31 to May 25, 2018, he
induced, enticed, and coerced a child victim to engage in criminal sexual
activity. Mausner was actually communicating (via the Kik messaging application
and texts) with an undercover FBI agent, who portrayed a single mother with a
7-year-old daughter.
Mausner admitted that he engaged the undercover agent in
numerous private chat sessions, over several months, in which he said he wanted
to engage in sexual activity with the mother and daughter. These discussions
entailed descriptions of the 7-year-old girl and an insistence, on Mausner’s
part, that the mother and 7-year-old would call him “Sir.” Mausner described,
in explicit detail, the sorts of sexual activity that he intended to perform on
the 7-year-old when they met.
Mausner began communicating plans to either travel to Kansas
City, Mo., or arrange for the travel of the mother and her daughter to come to
Colorado. Mausner traveled by plane from Denver, Colo., to Kansas City, Mo., on
May 25, 2018, with the intent to engage in criminal sexual activity with the
child victim. Mausner was arrested when he arrived at the Kansas City
International Airport.
This case was prosecuted by Assistant U.S. Attorney Patrick
D. Daly. It was investigated by the FBI.
