According to court documents, Pederson sent sexually explicit messages to the victim repeatedly, and some of the messages were received by a Homeland Security Agent posing as the teen after the messages were reported to law enforcement.

According to the plea agreement, prosecutors will recommend a sentence of 10 years with the Montana Department of Corrections with all time suspended.
