Pennsylvania Man Charged With Attempted Sex Trafficking Of A Child

SCRANTON, PA – The United States Attorney’s Office for the Middle District of Pennsylvania announced that on September 29, 2020, Lorenz Quiambao, age 39, of Easton, Pennsylvania, was indicted by a federal grand jury for attempted online enticement of a minor and attempted sex trafficking of a child.

According to United States Attorney David J. Freed, the indictment alleges that Quiambao attempted to use a facility of interstate commerce to entice a minor to engage in sexual activity.  Additionally, the indictment alleges that Quiambao attempted to cause a child to engage in a commercial sex act.   

The charges stem from an investigation by the Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI) – Philadelphia Division and its state and local law enforcement partners in Monroe County, Pennsylvania.  Assistant United States Attorney Jeffery St. John is prosecuting the case.

The maximum penalties under federal law for these offenses is life imprisonment, a mandatory minimum period of imprisonment of 15 years, a term of supervised release following imprisonment, and a fine. Under the Federal Sentencing Guidelines, the Judge is also required to consider and weigh a number of factors, including the nature, circumstances and seriousness of the offense; the history and characteristics of the defendant; and the need to punish the defendant, protect the public and provide for the defendant’s educational, vocational and medical needs. For these reasons, the statutory maximum penalty for the offense is not an accurate indicator of the potential sentence for a specific defendant.

  1. I believe they should be given the Death Penalty once found guilty of sexual abuse, assault, and rape towards all ages and male or female!

    The victim has to live with this attack for the rest of their life! You never over come this attack and usually is not a one time attack!

    We as citizens should not have to pay for these people for the rest of their lives in prison! They should be put to death within 30 days of conviction!
