GATESVILLE (June 24, 2009)--Xavier Rajesh Noronha, 38, of Killeen, who pleaded guilty in March to two counts of online solicitation of a minor, two counts of attempted sexual performance of a child and one count of aggravated sexual assault, was sentenced to 20 years in prison Wednesday.

The Texas Attorney General’s Cyber Crimes Unit arrested Noronha in November 2007 after he drove from Fort Hood to Copperas Cove where he expected to have sex with what he thought was a 13-year-old girl, authorities said.

The girl was actually an undercover investigator with whom Noronha had twice chatted online, the Attorney General’s Office said Wednesday.

At the time of the arrest, Noronha was married and worked as an IT engineer, the Attorney General’s Office said.

Betty and Jon---are you serious?? This time attempted...next time successful...what if it's your child/grandchild that this predator targets next time?!? And don't kid yourself...there is almost always a next time with these guys. Rarely are they rehabilitated.
