A 25-year-old man who tried to solicit sex from boys on the Internet and downloaded child pornography while living in the basement of his mother's home in Maplewood pleaded guilty Monday.
Michael J. Lundblad, 25, originally was charged in Ramsey County District Court with 10 counts of possession of child pornography. He pleaded guilty to four of those counts. Six others will be dismissed when he is sentenced Feb. 5 by District Judge Rosanne Nathanson. The plea agreement calls for him to serve 120 days in jail and register as a sex offender for 10 years.
Although Lundblad's mother ran a licensed day care out of her home, there were no allegations that Lundblad had inappropriate contact with any of the children. The day care was shut down when police began investigating the case.
According to the criminal complaint, an investigator with the Minnesota Internet Crimes Against Children task force received information in July 2007 from America Online that a user identified as "cuteboytyler15" had tried to solicit sex from boys under 15 on an AOL chatline.
Lundblad's computer was found at a Pawn America store in Roseville. Investigators found 174 files containing child pornography on the computer and another 600 on CDs and mini-discs found in Lundblad's drawers, closets and bags.
