Burl Richardson - Repeat Sex Offender - Guilty of Repeat Perversions

A 29-year-old man has been sentenced to 18 years in prison after pleading guilty in Douglas County, Colo., to sex crimes involving someone he thought was a child.

Burl Richardson had pleaded guilty last month to felony charges of sexual exploitation and attempted sexual assault on a child.

He was sentenced this week.

An investigation by an Internet Crimes Against Children task force led to Richardson's arrest in July 2008 in Shamokin, Pa. Authorities say he had made contact online with an undercover Parker police detective who was posing as a 13-year-old child.

Richardson was wanted on a nationwide warrant for failing to register as a sex offender in an unrelated case at the time of his arrest.
