"An Erie, Kan. man has been charged by criminal complaint for attempting to entice a minor to engage in s*xual activity and committing that offense as a registered s*x offender.

Richard V. Mitchell, 63, appeared in federal court today on a two-count criminal complaint.

According to court documents, Mitchell requested a minor child be transported from the Western District of Missouri to Erie, Kan. to engage in s*xual activity with Mitchell. Mitchell is a registered s*x offender in the State of Kansas.

The charges contained in this complaint are simply accusations, and not evidence of guilt. Evidence supporting the charges must be presented to a federal trial jury, whose duty is to determine guilt or innocence."
