A former Massena coach and co-owner of a semi pro football team will spend more than 15 years in federal prison for attempting to entice a 15 year old girl with alcohol and drugs in exchange for sex.

Court officials say 41 year old Christopher Morin apologized to the parents of the teenage victim at his sentencing Monday afternoon in U.S. District Court in Albany.

District Judge Thomas McAvoy sentenced Morin to 188 months in prison and placed him on lifetime supervision upon his release.

Morin was also told he could have no contact with minors and must register as a sex offender.

Morin was taken into custody August 14 in a parking lot on the St. Regis Mohawk Reservation where he thought he was meeting the teenager.

Morin originally contacted the girl through the social networking site Facebook and sent more than 1,000 text messages to her phone and to investigators who were posing as the victim.
