St. Cloud Man Sentenced in Underage Prostitution Sting

ST. CLOUD -- The last of three men who were caught in a police sex sting in November 2018 has been sentenced.

Twenty-three-year-old Jacob Young of St. Cloud has been sentenced to a stay of imposition with 10 days in jail already served. He must register as a predatory offender, be on probation for four years and pay more than $2,300 in fines and fees.

Young pleaded guilty to a felony count of soliciting a child through electronics to engage in sexual conduct in July.

Thirty-five-year-old Sory Sidime and 39-year-old Corey Wentz made guilty pleas earlier this year.

The men responded to an online profile set up by undercover officers acting as a 14-year-old girl.

Wentz was sentenced to 2 1/2 years in prison and he must register as a sex offender.

Sidime was sentenced to a stay of imposition, time served, probation and fined.
