HONOLULU -- A Honolulu jury found a man who fought undercover efforts in an Internet child sex sting case guilty on Monday.

Ernest Roberts, 47, a Maui home improvement store manager, was convicted of electronic enticement of a child for arranging to meet a 13-year-old girl, who was actually an undercover agent.

He claimed agents fooled him into doing something he was not inclined to do.

"There was also no evidence at trial or anywhere else that Mr. Roberts ever contacted or had any other contact with any other child," defense attorney Don Wilkerson said.

"Whenever you are using undercover the defense of entrapment is always a defense, and I think the jury dismissed that," Deputy Attorney General Albert Cook said.

Roberts faces at least a year in prison and sex offender registration when he is sentenced in December.
