MA Man Pleads To Attempting To Lure 14-Year-Old To Warwick For Sex: US Attorney

PROVIDENCE, RI — A Massachusetts man pleaded guilty to attempting to set up a sex date with a teenage girl at a Warwick hotel, the U.S. Attorney's Office said.

Robert Consorti, 64, was "charged in a superseding indictment following an extended investigation that followed his arrest in October 2024 when he arrived at a Warwick hotel expecting to meet with and engage in illicit sexual contact with a fourteen-year-old girl," the U.S. Attorney's Office said in a media release.

Consorti, a resident of Wilmington, pleaded to attempted coercion and enticement of a minor to engage in illicit sexual activity, interstate travel for the purpose of illicit sexual activity, transportation of child pornography and possession of child pornography, according to the release.

When Consorti was setting up his sex date with the 14-year-old, he was actually "communicating with a law enforcement officer posing as the girl when he made the arrangements," the release said.

"According to court documents, a review of Consorti’s electronic devices uncovered evidence supporting the offenses charged in the superseding indictment," per the release.

"Consorti admitted that he began communicating online with a 13-year-old, traveled interstate to meet the child for unlawful sexual activity, and took substantial steps toward carrying out that plan before his arrest prevented that meeting from occurring," the release said.

Consorti's sentencing was scheduled for Oct. 13.
