The former San Jose executive and sex offender who convinced a Canadian teen to fly to the Peninsula where he was taken to a Burlingame hotel was sentenced to three years in prison.
Scott Del Marshal McKibbin, 41, told the teen and his family in court he was sorry and regrets his actions, said District Attorney Steve Wagstaffe.
Wagstaffe called the outcome "reasonable” for the case in which McKibbin pleaded no contest to felony oral copulation with a minor under 18. In return, prosecutors dropped other charges of communicating with a minor to commit a lewd act, arranging a meeting with a minor for a lewd act and arranging a meeting with a minor for an inappropriate purpose.
McKibbin, who has been out of custody on a $50,000 bail bond, was denied a request to surrender later and immediately taken into custody.
McKibbin was the former director of global distribution for a semiconductor company and a registered sex offender. Prosecutors say between Sept. 8, 2010 and Oct. 27, 2010, McKibbin convinced the 16-year-old he met online to fly from Vancouver to San Francisco International Airport.
On that day, the teen headed to the Victoria International Airport with his passport before his parents awoke and flew to California with a ticket purchased by McKibbin. Once on the Peninsula, prosecutors say the teen went with McKibbin to a Burlingame hotel. He was apprehended by Burlingame police and FBI agents when he brought the boy back to the airport ticket counter to change his flight reservation. The boy’s parents had contacted authorities once they discovered him missing.

The following May, the boy and his family sued McKibbin in Santa Clara County Superior Court for negligence, assault and battery, emotional distress and sexual battery. San Mateo County prosecutors also charged him criminally.
McKibbin is already a registered sex offender, having been convicted in 1999 of oral copulation on a minor in Santa Cruz County. McKibbin reportedly took the 14-year-old from San Jose to Santa Cruz, plied him with alcohol and took advantage of the boy.
McKibbin has been free from custody on a $50,000 bail bond.
