COLUMBUS, Ohio – An Ohio man convicted of trying to help the Islamic State group is scheduled to be sentenced in April.

Aaron Daniels pleaded guilty last July to a charge accusing him of trying to travel to Libya to join the group.

Authorities allege Daniels wired $250 to an Islamic State group operative in January 2016 and told an undercover informant that he was interested in travelling to commit violence overseas.

The 21-year-old Daniels expressed remorse last year for his actions.

Federal Judge Edmund Sargus on Wednesday scheduled sentencing for April 12.

Daniels faces up to 20 years in prison. A message was left with his attorney seeking comment.
