(First Coast News) A St. Augustine man was sentenced to 20 years in federal prison Thursday, followed by 15 years of supervised release, for attempting to provide material support to ISIS.
Romeo Xavier Langhorne, 32, of St. Augustine, pleaded guilty in the Middle District of Florida to one count of attempting to provide material support to ISIS on May 13, 2021.
According to court documents, Langhorne pledged his allegiance to ISIS at some point in 2014, knowing that ISIS was a designated foreign terrorist organization that engaged in acts of terrorism.
Between 2018 and 2019, officials say Langhorne reaffirmed his support of ISIS on various social media accounts.
