A 53 year old Gadsden man is facing life in prison after
being convicted of enticing a child for immoral purposes in Talladega
County. A Talladega County jury of eight
women and four men deliberated less than 10 minutes before finding Gregory
Allen Looney guilty. In July 2013, Looney was serving time in the
work camp in Childersburg after being convicted of forgery. He was standing in
line at Jack’s in Sylacauga after cutting the grass in a nearby cemetery when
he propositioned a 13-year-old boy who was waiting in line in front him.
According to the victim, Looney told him he was cute, grabbed his buttocks and
suggested they meet later in the cemetery.
Looney did not put on a defense at trial.
He will be formally sentenced in May by Circuit Judge Bo
Hollingsworth.
