Chicago Man Sentenced For Trying to Have Sex with Girl

A Chicago man was sentenced to 15 years in federal prison after federal prosecutors said he traveled to Alpharetta to have sex with an 11-year-old girl.

Michael Isacson, 67, of Chicago, was sentenced May 2 by U.S. District court Judge Charles A. Parnell for for enticement of a minor to engage in sexual activity.

An FBI agent posed as the 29-year-old mother of a girl. The defendant used two different online screen names in communications with the undercover agent.

Between December 2011 and January 2012, ISACSON engaged in sexually explicit communications with the agent in which he stated that he wanted to be the child’s “naughty grandpa and her naughty daddy,” according to the release from the U.S. Attorney's office.

He later exposed himself to her using a web camera. Isacson also sent the undercover agent a list of rules to give to the girl, which included the rule that when he used the word “obey” that the girl was to do exactly what she was told with no questions.

Isacson was arrested on Jan. 18 in Alpharetta, where he traveled from Chicago to meet with the undercover agent and her fictitious daughter to have sex with the young girl.

Isacson was sentenced to 15 years in prison, to be followed by 10 years of supervised release.  He will be required to register as a sex offender. There is no parole in the federal system. Isacson pleaded guilty to the charge on March 1, 2012.

U.S. Attorney Sally Quillian Yates said: “This man not only engaged in sexually explicit communications with the purported mother of an eleven-year old girl to convince the mother to give him access to her daughter, but he actually traveled from Chicago to Atlanta to have sex with the little girl. His lengthy sentence is well-deserved.”

 This case is being brought as part of Project Safe Childhood, a nationwide initiative launched in May 2006 by the Department of Justice to combat the growing epidemic of child sexual exploitation and abuse.
