Booher, a former Roane County defense attorney, was found guilty in April of felony sexual offense against a minor while on a sex offender registry, sex trafficking of a child, attempted production of child pornography and two counts of enticement.

He faces 25 years to life in prison. Last week his sentencing hearing was reset from Aug. 18 to Oct. 20.

Booher was a convicted sex offender before he got in trouble on federal charges. He pled guilty on two counts of statutory rape in Loudon County Criminal Court in 2014. The conviction landed him on the state sex offender registry. The Tennessee Supreme Court also disbarred him.

Booher couldn’t manage to keep himself out of trouble following the 2014 conviction in state court. On March 8, 2019, he was charged with violating the sexual offender registry and solicitation of aggravated statutory rape in Roane County General Sessions Court. He was allegedly chatting with a Facebook Messenger profile that he believed to be a 16-year-old female. The federal charges were filed against him later that year.

Booher, 66, is being held at the Knox County Jail without bond pending sentencing in the federal case.
