GRAND FORKS, N.D. (AP) _ A Grand Forks man accused of hiring a

17-year-old girl for sex has pleaded not guilty to a misdemeanor

charge.

Authorities allege 60-year-old Michael Delmore was a customer of

two men and a woman who prostituted the girl in Grand Forks over

several months in early 2011. Those three people face felony

charges of human trafficking of a minor.

Delmore is the only person charged so far with paying for sex with

the girl.

Delmore was a high school counselor in Larimore for more than

two decades before retiring last spring. He is the husband of state

Rep. Lois Delmore.
