KANSAS CITY, KAN. – A Missouri man pleaded guilty to criminal charges after making plans to engage in sex acts while chatting with an undercover federal agent posing as an underaged girl.
According to court documents, Jason A. Teeman, 47, of Raymore, Missouri, pleaded guilty to one count of attempted coercion and enticement of a minor and one count of possession of child pornography.
In July 2025, Teeman used social media and text messages to chat with a Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI) agent purporting to be a 14-year-old girl in Kansas. During the conversations he made comments filled with sexual innuendo including how he only likes to “date young females” and “just keep in mind I’m the one risking going to jail here”. Teeman then made plans to travel from Missouri to Kansas to engage in sexual acts with the “girl” in the back seat of his car or at the girl’s home. After the agent explicitly claimed to be 14 years old, Teeman continued communicating in a sexual manner.
The FBI arrested Teeman after he arrived at the designated meeting location and confiscated his cellphone. Forensic analysis revealed 14 files containing child sexual abuse material (CSAM) and child erotica, including of children under 9 years old. His chat history revealed he sent multiple messages to other online users requesting they facilitate or assist in procuring a child for Teeman to have sexual contact with in exchange for money.
He is scheduled to be sentenced December 8, 2026. A federal district court judge will determine any sentence after considering the U.S. Sentencing Guidelines and other statutory factors.
The Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI) is investigating the case.
Assistant U.S. Attorney Audrey McCormick is prosecuting the case.
