Stephen Stout found guilty of aggravated indecent solicitation of a child

A Douglas County jury found Stephen R. Stout guilty Tuesday afternoon of aggravated indecent solicitation of a child for trying to entice a West Junior High School student to get into his car in December.

The jurors found that Stout was trying to entice the 13-year-old girl to get into his car to become a victim. Stout had already pleaded guilty to three counts of lewd and lascivious behavior for exposing himself to three other girls that day.

Stout could face up to 136 months in prison for the solicitation conviction, depending on his criminal history. He also faces a maximum 31 months in prison for the three exposure convictions.

District Judge Michael Malone will sentence Stout on the four convictions at 2 p.m. Oct. 24.
