A 66-year-old Illinois man was arrested Wednesday morning in north Fulton County after he allegedly drove 700 miles to have sex with a minor, the FBI said.
But there was never a child involved.
Undercover investigators tracked down Michael A. Isacson, of Manteno, Ill., through Internet conversations, FBI Special Agent Stephen Emmett said in a statement. Alpharetta police assisted the FBI with the investigation.
Isacson apparently believed he was communicating with a minor, but instead was talking to FBI agents, Emmett told the AJC.
Isacson was arrested in Alpharetta and charged with attempted sexual exploitation of a minor child, Emmett said. He was expected to have his first court appearance Wednesday afternoon in federal magistrate court in Atlanta.
