KANSAS CITY, Mo. (AP) — A 56-year-old New Mexico man has been sentenced to 20 years in prison for transporting a 13-year-old Missouri girl across state lines to engage in sexual activity.

U.S. Attorney Tammy Dickinson says Raymond C. Vallia III of Albuquerque was sentenced Wednesday in Kansas City. He pleaded guilty in November to transporting a minor across state lines with the intent to engage in sexual activity

The Henry County, Missouri, Sheriff’s Office responded to a home in March 2015 to investigate a report of a missing girl. Officers determined the girl met Vallia on the Internet, and he had picked her up at her home.

New Mexico State Police stopped a vehicle matching a description of Vallia’s the next day. The girl was found in the vehicle, and Vallia was arrested.
