COURTS Central point sex offender gets 5 years for luring teen on Craigslist Central Point man used Craigslist Comment By Thomas Moriarty Mail Tribune MailTribune.com By Thomas Moriarty Mail Tribune Posted Apr. 15, 2015 at 1:40 PM Updated Apr 15, 2015 at 6:15 PM By Thomas Moriarty Mail Tribune Posted Apr. 15, 2015 at 1:40 PM Updated Apr 15, 2015 at 6:15 PM » Social News A Jackson County judge Tuesday sentenced a Central Point man to 60 months in prison for trying to lure a teenage boy for sex over the Internet last spring. Prosecutors had asked for a 45-month sentence as part of Mark Ray Doty's plea agreement, but Judge Kelly Ravassipour cited Doty's criminal history in increasing the sentence. In return for pleading guilty to charges of luring a minor, first-degree online sexual corruption of a minor and two counts of encouraging child sexual abuse in the second degree, prosecutors dismissed additional charges of use of a child in a sexually explicit display, online sexual corruption and delivery of marijuana to a minor. Medford police arrested Doty and Cameron James Lauckner, 20, in February 2014 after the parents of the 16-year-old victim filed a report. Police say the boy had met the two men over the "casual encounters" section of Craigslist and that they had persuaded him to send them pictures and videos via cellphone. They eventually arranged to meet the victim in the parking lot of a local business, police said, but the boy feared for his safety and left, telling his parents what had happened. Doty, now 42, was convicted in 2007 of 12 counts of encouraging child sex abuse after police found child pornography in his parents' Central Point home. "I don't see this as a serious error — I see this as repetitive behavior," Ravassipour told Doty, referring to his previous convictions. "It's very disturbing." Lauckner pleaded guilty in May 2014 to charges of luring a minor and second-degree online sexual corruption of a child, and was sentenced to three years' probation.
