Missouri man sentenced to 19 years for plotting ISIS attack in US

A Missouri man was sentenced to 19 years behind bars for attempting to assist the Islamic State in attacking the United States.

Robert Lorenzo Hester Jr., 28, was sentenced Wednesday after he pleaded guilty in September 2019. He believed he was attempting to provide material support to the terrorist organization from October 2016 to February 2017 but was actually communicating with undercover FBI agents.

"Law enforcement engaged Hester to see if he was truly committed to an act of terrorism, and his responses left no doubt that he was," the Department of Justice said.
