Alexandria Man Pleads Guilty to Traveling to D.C. to Engage in Illicit Sexual Conduct

Beverley Hills resident George G. Kahl pleaded guilty Monday to traveling interstate to engage in illicit sexual conduct with a minor, according to the FBI.

Kahl entered the guilty plea Monday in the U.S. District Court for Washington, D.C.

According to case evidence, on Feb. 9, Kahl contacted a man he believed to be the father of an underage female on a social networking site. That man was an undercover officer with the FBI’s Child Exploitation Task Force.

In the following days, Kahl engaged in graphic email and text message conversations with the officer. During these conversations, Kahl arranged with the undercover officer to meet for the purpose of engaging in sexual acts with the purported child.

On Feb. 22, Kahl traveled from Alexandria to the District for that purpose and was arrested.

Kahl, 42, is scheduled to be sentenced July 26. He is facing a maximum sentence of 30 years as well as a $250,000 fine.
