Stumble It!ANCHORAGE, Alaska -- A federal jury has convicted a California man who faced several child exploitation charges.
Danny Michael Harvey, of Lancaster, Calif., was convicted on charges of:
- attempted aggravated sexual abuse, which carries a mandatory minimum 30 years in prison;
- attempted manufacture of child pornography, carrying a maximum term of 15 years in prison;
- possession of child pornography, carrying an additional maximum term of 10 years in prison.
Federal investigators arrested the 47-year-old Harvey upon his arriving in Anchorage 15 months ago. Prosecutors say Harvey came to Alaska intending to spend time with a 5-year-old girl.
The girl was the fictitious granddaughter of a federal agent posing as a grandfather with sole custody.
