JEFFERSON CITY, Mo. (KMIZ)
A federal judge has sentenced a Sedalia man for attempting to hire an undercover law enforcement agent to murder the victim in a pending statutory sodomy case.
Jon Mark Wilson, 58, to 10 years in federal prison without parole.
On Sept. 28, 2021, Wilson pleaded guilty to one count of the use of interstate facilities (the use of a cell phone and crossing state lines) in the commission of murder for hire.
Wilson admitted that he paid $2,000 to an undercover agent with the Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms and Explosives to murder his alleged victim in a separate state case. Wilson has been charged in Pettis County, Mo., with two counts of felony first-degree statutory sodomy in a case that is still pending.
