WILMINGTON — Frank R. Bucklew, 57, of Bridgeville, was sentenced to 235 months in prison Sept. 28 for soliciting pornographic photos from a minor, the U.S. Attorney’s Office for the District of Delaware announced.
A news release said that Bucklew will spend an additional 10 years in federally supervised release following his time in prison.
U.S. Attorney David Weiss said that Bucklew spoke through a dating application with an undercover police officer he believed to be a 14-year-old girl. He had detailed sexual discussions with her and repeatedly asked that she send him pornographic images of herself.
Bucklew is a registered sex offender following a conviction in Maryland in 2000, Mr. Weiss said.
