FARGO, N.D. (AP) — A former North Dakota Army National Guard soldier who admitted to luring teenage girls over the Internet for sex has been sentenced to serve 25 years in prison.

Thirty-year-old Eric Sansburn pleaded guilty earlier to child sex and child porn charges. KFGO radio reports he was sentenced Monday.

Authorities say Sansburn had online chats with nearly 100 teenage girls, and would pick girls up from their homes and schools for sex in the Grand Forks area.

Sansburn's attorney has said his client is a decorated Iraqi war veteran who receives disability from the Veterans Administration for post-traumatic stress disorder.
