A federal judge has sentenced a McHenry County man to more than 23 years in prison for luring a 13-year-old girl to a park in Carol Stream to have sex with her.
Ten years was added to Marcus Tyms' sentence Monday because the 25-year-old was a registered sex offender when he committed the crime in 2007.
Authorities say Tyms met the girl online and persuaded her to come to the park, intending to have sex. They say he hit her when she had last-minute doubts and abandoned her when he was spotted by Carol Stream police who arrested him.
U.S. District Judge Milton Shadur sentenced Tyms to 160 months on an enticement count and imposed a mandatory consecutive 10-year prison term for committing the crime while being a registered sex-offender.
