(The Guardian) A Minnesota state lawmaker who is accused of trying to buy sex from an underage girl resigned from the state senate on Thursday before his colleagues were set to vote to expel him.

Justin Eichorn, a Republican, was charged with a felony in federal court Wednesday for attempted coercion and enticement of a minor after responding to online sex ads and trying to arrange a meetup with a 17-year-old.

Eichorn, 40, was arrested on Tuesday. The charges include details about Eichorn’s alleged conduct. A similar state charge filed on Wednesday was dropped in favor of the federal charge.

Police in Bloomington, Minnesota, carried out a sex sting operation, placing ads, including photos, posing as a young woman on two websites known for human trafficking, according to an affidavit from FBI special agent Matthew Vogel. The ad claimed the woman was 18 and said: “cum $pend time with me.”
