BUTTE, Mont. (AP) — A 29-year-old Missoula man has been sentenced to 15 years in prison for sending an 11-year-old girl text messages trying to entice her to have sex with him.

Allen D. Clairmont pleaded guilty in February to felony attempted sexual assault. The Montana Standard reports District Judge Kurt Krueger sentenced Clairmont Wednesday to 30 years in prison with 15 suspended. He will not be eligible for parole until he completes sexual offender counseling in prison.

The girl's mother found the sexually explicit text messages on her daughter's phone in January 2009 and called police. Officers began responding to Clairmont's texts using the child's cell phone and arrested him when he arrived at a Butte grocery store believing he was going to meet the girl.
