Kansas City, Mo. ? A 32-year-old Navy recruiter from Kansas has pleaded guilty to attempted human trafficking for trying to arrange a sexual encounter with what he thought was an 11-year-old girl.

Shane Allan Sanders of Olathe entered the plea Wednesday in U.S. District Court in Kansas City, Mo. He faces 15 years to life in prison.

The arrest stemmed from a sting by several law enforcement agencies in the Kansas City area that produced seven indictments.

Sanders admitted using a government equipment at the Armed Forces Recruiting Station in Lenexa, Kan., to respond in March to a Craigslist ad offering “little girls.”

He was arrested after showing up in uniform at a residence and paying an undercover officer $60 to have sex with the child.
