Ex-Meadows resident jailed

A former Rolling Meadows resident was sentenced to jail in Boone County, Mo., Monday for child enticement. Matthew S. Michals, 23, received a 120-day jail sentence for attempted sexual misconduct involving a child, a misdemeanor, and was sentenced to five years probation for attempted statutory rape, Boone County Assistant Prosecutor Merilee Crockett said. Michals must also register as a sex offender. He began serving his sentence immediately and will be in jail during the holidays, Crockett said. Authorities said Michals chatted online with someone he thought was a 13-year-old girl but who was really an undercover police officer in 2007. Authorities also said Michals exposed himself using a Web camera and arranged a meeting with the girl. Michals is a former University of Central Missouri baseball player. He still attends the college but no longer plays baseball, Crockett said.
