A 24-year-old convicted sex offender is accused of using the Internet to lure a 12-year-old Wyoming girl to Missoula, where he allegedly locked her in an apartment, gave her marijuana and alcohol and repeatedly assaulted her for four days before her parents tracked her down.
William Richard Nielsen, who appeared in U.S. District Court in Missoula on Monday, faces a charge of coercion and enticement of a minor. The Missoulian reports he was arrested Sunday after the girl's father told police that when he arrived at Nielsen's apartment, his daughter was naked on a bed.
Court records say the girl told police she met Nielsen three weeks earlier through MySpace and, after several episodes of "sexting," he pressured her to come to Missoula. The records say he told her to take a bus from Sheridan, Wyo., to Missoula, and she left the evening of Jan. 4 and arrived the following morning.
