A former minister charged with soliciting sex on the Internet from an investigator posing as a teenager will be sentenced Dec. 28.

Michael Anthony Harris, 43, has pleaded no contest to attempted lewd or lascivious battery and using a computer to solicit the sexual conduct of a crime, according to court documents.

At the time of the incident, Harris was pastor at St. Paul Lutheran Church.

He was arrested April 13 after going to a soccer field to meet with a 14-year-old boy who was actually an undercover officer.
