CLEVELAND, Ohio — A 32-year-old sexual offender released from prison in May is headed back to a cell.
Orlando Fowler was sentenced Tuesday to 18 months in prison, the maximum for attempted compelling prostitution.
A Cuyahoga County jury found Fowler guilty of seeking to have sex with a girl Sept. 10 at Cedar Estates.
Fowler walked up to a 10-year-old boy playing basketball with his friends and said he’d give him $100 if he found him a little girl to have sex with, prosecutor’s spokesman Ryan Miday said.
Fowler said he had condoms and candy.
The boy told the older boys at the playground and they chased Fowler toward East 30th Street and Carnegie Avenue. He was arrested at a McDonald’s, where he had tossed the contents of his backpack across the parking lot.
