67-year-old Elton Ray Jones of Zavalla, Texas, has been found guilty of trying to get a minor to have sex with him in Lafayette.
According to court documents, Jones made contact and conducted online chats with who he thought was a 14-year-old girl from September 11, 2012, to October 17, 2012.

Jones faces 10 years to life in prison, five years to life of probation and a $250,000.00 fine for one count of attempting to entice a minor to engage in criminal sexual activity and must also register as a sex offender.
