LISBON, Ohio - A 40-year-old husband and father from New Castle is going to prison in a sex-for-hire case.
Larry Smith appeared in Columbiana County Court Thursday and was handed a nine-month sentence.
Smith pleaded guilty earlier to felony counts of attempting to compel prostitution and attempted unlawful sexual conduct with a minor.
Investigators say Smith was arrested early last year after agreeing to pay a thirteen-year-old for sex. The person he thought was a teen turned out to be an undercover agent.
