39-year-old Neil Wing of Waterville, according to the U.S. Attorney’s Office, District of Maine, was communicating with an undercover detective on Kik.
Wing was sentenced Thursday, May 14, in U.S. District Court in Bangor for attempting to transfer obscene material to a minor.
U.S. District Judge Stacey D. Neumann sentenced Wing to 21 months in prison to be followed by three years of supervised release. Wing pleaded guilty on Nov. 4, 2025.
According to court records, Wing began communicating with an undercover detective posing as a 12-year-old girl on the online chat platform Kik. These conversations quickly became sexual in nature, with Wing repeatedly asking for pictures. Wing subsequently sent the undercover detective a sexually explicit image of himself naked in the bathroom. Wing was interviewed while a search warrant was being executed at his residence and admitted to sending the image.
Homeland Security Investigations and the Maine State Police Major Crimes Unit–Special Victims investigated the case.
