HOUSTON - A Texan has pleaded guilty to enticing a 9-year-old Minnesota
girl he met online into posing nude and emailing him the photo.
Prosecutors in Houston say 33-year-old Steve Correa-Franco of Spring remains
in custody until sentencing in March. He faces up to life in prison after
pleading guilty Thursday to enticement of a child and possession of child
pornography.
Police in Rochester, Minn., in April responded to a father's complaint about
his daughter chatting online with an alleged 16-year-old boy.
Prosecutors say the person was Correa-Franco, who talked about having sex
and asked the girl for a naked image. She used a game system to take the photo
and email it to him.
Authorities say Correa-Franco's laptop computer had more than 200 child porn
images, including the Minnesota girl's photo.
