Flying to US for child sex German gets life in prison.
A German man has been sentenced to life in U.S. federal prison for flying to Florida to have sex with a 13-year-old child.
Meinrad Kopp was arrested in Orlando in June after arranging sex with a Brevard County Sheriff's Office undercover agent he thought was the girl's father.
In a Florida Today report , the sheriff's office said Kopp, 55, pleaded guilty to attempting to entice a minor to engage in sexual activity with the enhancement of overseas travel.
Kopp was sentenced Wednesday to life in prison and ordered to pay a $250,000 fine. U.S. District Court Judge Paul Byron said the sentence was intended to deter sex tourism.
Kopp is a German citizen who lived in Switzerland.
