Oklahoma man to spend life in prison after trying to marry, flee country with girl he 'groomed': Authorities

An Oklahoma man will spend the rest of his life behind bars after being convicted of grooming a teenage girl.

Alexander Sweet, 28, was sentenced to life in prison on Wednesday after being found guilty of coercion and enticement of a minor, four counts of production of child pornography, receipt of child pornography, and possession of child pornography, Fox 25 Oklahoma reported.

"Alexander Sweet targeted and groomed a vulnerable teenager struggling with the loss of two loved ones and a difficult childhood," U.S. Attorney Clinton Johnson said in a statement.

"She showed tremendous courage when she faced him in a federal courtroom. This predator thought he was above the law but has now been convicted and sits behind bars where he can no longer victimize another child."
