DAVENPORT, Iowa (KWQC) - A Davenport man was sentenced Monday to 15 years in federal prison for trying to entice a minor and failure to register as a sex offender.

Officials said Gerald Brian Hoard, 52, was on federal supervised released for a 2022 conviction for attempting to transfer obscene material to a minor.

In July 2024, officials said Hoard sent pictures and arranged to meet up with someone he believed was a 14-year-old boy at a Davenport movie theatre to engage in sexual acts.

Officers met Hoard at the movie theater. Officials said Hoard admitted to the meet up plan.

Investigators examined Hoard’s phone and found Facebook and Grindr accounts which officials said Hoard failed to register as part of the required Sex Offender Registration and Notification Act.
