A New Jersey man was sentenced this morning at the U.S. District Court in Providence to 87 months in federal prison for traveling interstate for the purpose of engaging in illicit sexual conduct with a minor.

Daniel Berger, 28, admitted that he befriended a 13-year-old female on the Internet and subsequently transported her from Portsmouth to his residence in Haskell, New Jersey, on July 24, 2013.

Berger, who pled guilty on July 18, 2014, was also ordered by U.S. District Court Judge Mary M.
