WINONA, Minn. — A Goodview man posted $150,000 bail for release from jail pending more court appearances on charges ofsoliciting sex online from a 14-year-old girl. Louis Joel Lentner, age 44, had been under surveillance for online chats since mid-June, according to a court document. What Lentner didn’t know, according to the document, was that his chats on the online Kik site were neither with a girl nor a 14-year-old but an imposter FBI agent. The criminal complaint says the FBI traced Lentner’s Kik account to his IP address and then to the Goodview address where he lived. The FBI also reported confirming his identity by matching photos from his Kik exchanges with his driver’s license photo. Conviction could mean 10 years in prison and $20,000 in fines.
