PREET BHARARA, the United States Attorney for the
Southern District of New York, announced that United States
District Judge CATHY SEIBEL sentenced FOSTER CREAGER, 41, to 12
years' imprisonment yesterday for his transportation of a minor
from Hyde Park, New York to Angola, Indiana for purposes of
engaging in illegal sex.
According to documents filed in this case:
On September
10, 2009, a 15-year-old girl from Hyde Park, New York (the "victim") was discovered missing. Hyde Park Police and the New
York State Police discovered that the victim had been corresponding
via e-mail with an individual using the name "Kenneth Bone." The
subscriber of the cellular phone used by "Kenneth Bone" was FOSTER CREAGER, with an address in Angola, Indiana.
Subsequently, the victim was found in a trailer and
recreational vehicle park in Angola, Indiana with CREAGER. On
September 11, 2009, the victim was examined at a hospital, and a
rape examination was performed. Forensic results revealed that the
specimens recovered from the victim contained DNA that matched DNA
from CREAGER.
CREAGER pled guilty on February 4, 2010. At his
guilty plea proceeding, CREAGER admitted that he and his mother,
JUDY DELONG, drove from Indiana to Hyde Park, New York, picked up
the victim, and drove back to Indiana. CREAGER admitted that he
knew the victim was 15 years old and that he picked her up in New
York with the intent to have sexual intercourse with her.
On July 8, 2010, JUDY DELONG pled guilty to misprison
of a felony in White Plains federal court. Among other things,
DELONG admitted that she knew that CREAGER intended to engage in
sexual activity with the underage victim and that she provided her
motor home in Indiana for CREAGER and the victim to use and conceal
themselves. On November 2, 1010, Judge SEIBEL sentenced Delong to
a 16-month term of imprisonment.
In imposing the 12-year term of imprisonment, Judge
SEIBEL underscored the seriousness of the offense, the
vulnerability of the victim, and the need to protect the public
from CREAGER. Judge SEIBEL also imposed a 10-year term of
supervised release. Judge SEIBEL stated that both the public and
Creager would benefit from a lengthy period of close supervision.
Mr. BHARARA praised the efforts and assistance of the
Federal Bureau of Investigation, the Hyde Park Police Department,
the Dutchess County District Attorney's Office, the Rockland County
Sheriff's Department, the New York State Police, and the Steuben
County Sheriff's Office in Angola, Indiana.
This case is being handled by the Office's White Plains
Division. Assistant United States Attorney MARCIA S. COHEN is in
charge of the prosecution.
