SAINT PAUL, Minn. – A former Minnesota state senator accused of attempting to pay a teen girl for sex is asking a judge to allow him to see his children.
Justin Eichorn of Grand Rapids pleaded not guilty to a federal charge of attempted coercion or enticement of a minor. He requests a judge change his release condition banning him from connecting with anyone under age 18. Eichorn’s next court appearance is set for May 19.
Prosecutors say he responded to an online prostitution ad as part of a sex trafficking sting by Bloomington Police.
