The U.S. has registered Riane Gysberts, an Aussie woman, from Franskton, Victoria as a sexual predator as she pleaded guilty to one count of solicitation of a minor observing sexual conduct in Tennessee's Madison Country Circuit Court.

Gysberts had been reportedly sending explicit emails and naked photos of herself to her victim and was willing "to take this relationship as far as it could go," the court heard.

A judge ruled for Gysberts to two years of unsupervised probation and fined her AU$566. She was also forced to give up her laptop, iPad, two mobile phones by being registered as a sex offender. The Interpol will also be informed about her sex offender status. Her passport will be returned and she will be free to fly back to Australia.

In a Dec. 2 report from Jacksonsun.com, it said Gysberts was freed on bail amounting to $30,000 but was ordered to surrender her passport.

Back in Sept. 27, Gysberts was arrested through an entrapment operation conducted at a McDonald's chain after the victim's mother alerted the police.

The mother of a 17-year-old daughter sought the help of the police when she learned that Gysberts had travelled all the way from Melbourne to meet her daughter.

The police department's Special Investigation Bureau said they set up the entrapment "to lure Gysbert's for an arrest."

At around 2 p.m., Gysberts arrived at McDonald's with the police already waiting. The authorities immediately took her into custody and jailed her at Madison County jail.
