NORRISTOWN, Pa. (AP) - A retired pastor from eastern Pennsylvania will spend at least 10 more months in prison after being sentenced for sexually propositioning a 15-year-old girl over the Internet.

Sixty-3-year-old former Allentown minister Paul Marmon was sentenced to up to five years in prison on Monday and must register as a sex offender under Megan's Law upon his release. Marmon has been behind bars since his arrest.

Defense attorney Daniel McGarrigle says he does not object to the sex offender designation.

Prosecutors say Marmon posed as a 19-year-old man and told the girl he wanted to have sex with her. He was arrested in 2008 after leaving presents for the girl at a park.

Marmon pleaded guilty in July to charges including unlawful contact with a minor and possession of child pornography.
