A Rome man who traveled to Denver, Colorado to meet someone he believed to be an underage female teen has been convicted on four charges including attempted child sex assault and Internet luring of a child with intent to exploit.

According to the Denver Post, a Jefferson County jury returned the guilty verdict on Wednesday against James Lee Pierce.

Pierce is set to be sentenced on April the 13th.

According to previous reports, Pierce was arrested on April 17 of 2014 when he arrived in Jefferson County, Colorado.

The underage teen was actually an undercover investigator.

On December 31, 2013, an investigator with the DA’s Child Sex Offender Internet Investigations Unit was contacted online by Pierce. The investigator was in a social networking site portraying himself as a child under the age of 15.

The communication from Pierce is alleged to have become sexually graphic and to have continued over the next three months.

According to the arrest affidavit, in addition to the sexually graphic language, Pierce asked the person he believed to be an underage teen to send him naked pictures. He also sent sexually graphic photos of himself to the purported underage teen.

In March, 2014 Pierce said that he was going to take a bus to Colorado to meet the underage teen for sexual purposes. He also talked about bringing the underage teen back to Georgia with him. According to the affidavit he left Marietta, GA on April 15 and arrived in Denver on April 17.
