An Arkansas man was charged this week with one count of interstate travel for illicit sexual conduct after flying from Arkansas to New York to meet an 11-year-old child.
According to the FBI, Kyle Biswell, age 37, of Fayetteville, Arkansas engaged in a series of online conversations with a person in Albany whom he believed would allow him to engage in sexual contact with an 11-year-old relative.
On April 8, 2023, Biswell flew from Arkansas to Albany to engage in sexual contact with the minor, packing numerous Viagra pills in his suitcase.

He was arrested at the airport, and later admitted he flew to Albany with the intent to engage in sexual contact with a minor.
Biswell was detained pending a detention hearing later this week.
If convicted of the charge, Biswell faces up to 30 years in prison, a maximum fine of $250,000, and a term of post-imprisonment supervised release of at least five years and up to life.
This case is being investigated by the FBI and its Child Exploitation Task Force, which includes members of federal, state, and local law enforcement agencies, including the Colonie Police Department and the New York State Police.
