DENTON, Texas - A former Denton County constable who pleaded guilty to soliciting sex with children has received a sentence of at least six years in prison. 62-year-old Larry Dale Floyd pleaded guilty to three counts of enticement of a child in November. He was sentenced this week in Canon City, Colorado. Authorities say Floyd drove to Colorado in July 2005 to meet with a woman he thought was willing to offer him her 8-year-old daughter. Floyd also was interested in a 3-year-old girl and 16-month-old boy he thought were the children of the woman's friend. But the woman Floyd had been corresponding with online and calling for almost two months was actually an undercover police officer. He was also charged in Texas with three counts of possession of child pornography after a search of his home. Although Floyd will be eligible for parole after serving six years of his indeterminate sentence, Colorado has tough rehabilitation standards for sex offenders. Since those measures were imposed, prosecutors say only two sex offenders have been paroled. www.ktre.com/Global/story.asp?S=5992211&nav=2FH5
