RAPID CITY, S.D. – A man convicted of several charges, including enticement of a minor using the Internet and receipt of child pornography has been sentenced to life in federal prison.
Vincent Alberto Barrios, was arrested and federally indicted following an undercover sex trafficking operation conducted during the 2023 Sturgis Motorcycle Rally, targeting internet predators.
Barrios had thought he was having conversations with underage girls, but were actually undercover agents.
A federal grand jury indicted Barrios in August of 2023. He was found guilty of all charges following a three-day jury trial in December 2023.
