Former Alabama Department of Transportation employee Daniel Nixon – accused of soliciting a 14 year old girl for sex on-line – entered a guilty plea in the case late last week.

Nixon pled guilty to a charge of Enticing a Child for Immoral Purposes and he was sentenced to a term of five years; he must serve one year of the sentence and spend three years on probation.

He will also be required to register as a sex offender for the remainder of his life.

Nixon is slated to surrender at the DeKalb County Detention Center by noon today (Monday) in order to begin serving his sentence.
