SALT LAKE CITY (AP) -- A Roy man has been charged with offering an undercover Colorado officer two-thousand dollars to have sex with her eight-year-old daughter.
According to a Colorado newspaper report, 58-year-old Larry Merrill faces three felony charges. They include attempted sexual assault with a child, soliciting for child prostitution and enticement of a child.
In February, Merrill allegedly contacted an undercover officer posing as a single mother online. The paper reported during four months of e-mails, the man reportedly offered the officer two-thousand dollars to let him come to Canon City, Colorado to have sex with her daughter.
