Davenport, IA-  A Muscatine man has been sentenced to over seventeen years in prison for attempting to entice a minor.

According to the US Attorney’s Office for the Southern District of Iowa, in December of 2022, 41-year-old Paul Kyle Quigley, a registered sex offender, engaged in a Facebook conversation with an undercover officer posing as a 15-year-old girl.

After being told of the 15-year-old age of the victim, Quigley replied with requests for sex acts.

After multiple days of continued conversation of a graphic sexual nature, Quigley formulated a plan to attempt to meet and flee the state with the 15-year-old to engage in sexual activity.

Working in conjunction with the Iowa Department of Transportation, Quigley was arrested in Burlington on February 22nd, 2023, just prior to his semi-truck arriving at the established meeting place.

Following his prison term, Quigley will be required to serve 15 years of supervised release.
