CHANTILLY, VA — A Chantilly man was sentenced in the federal court in Alexandria to 27 years in prison after his conviction on charges of sexual exploitation and coercion and enticement of minors to engage in illegal sexual activity, according to the U.S. Attorney’s Office.
According to court records and evidence presented at trial, Michael Logan Bourne, 55, used an anonymous Google account, "lordromance2021," between at least February 2022 and April 2023 to sexually exploit at least six girls between the ages of 13 and 17. The records said Bourne referred to the girls as his “slaves” and persuaded them to “serve” and “please” him by engaging in sexually explicit conduct on live webcams.
Court records say Bourne groomed the girls by inundating them with sexual messages, including sexually graphic pictures and a video of himself. The records also say he pressured the victims to reciprocate his sexual advances and to join him on video calls even when they expressed discomfort. According to the case record, he also received child sexual abuse material from two of his victims.
The records said Bourne knew several of his victims suffered from serious mental health issues, which made them more susceptible to coercion. A federal judge convicted Bourne on Dec. 17, 2025, according to the U.S. Attorney’s Office.
