A registered sex offender running for mayor of Wilmer says he hopes voters can overlook his 2004 arrest in which he was caught in a police sting trying to arrange sex with a 15-year-old girl on the Internet.

Brian Sliter, who is seeking office in Wilmer, said he accepts responsibility for his arrest and has received counseling that has helped ``turn my life around.''

The incident occurred in 2004, when Sliter went to a home where police, and not a teenager, waited for him. Sliter was charged with attempting to commit sexual assault of a child and placed on 10 years probation, according to state records.

The election in Wilmer is May 10.
