Kingston, n.h. — A former New Hampshire state lawmaker has filed a notice of intent to plead guilty to charges that he tried to lure a 14-year-old girl into a sexual encounter and possessed drugs.

Patricia LaFrance, deputy Rockingham County Attorney, said on Friday that Kyle Tasker is expected to plead guilty to the charges on May 9.

He was scheduled to face trial next month. His lawyer didn’t immediately respond to a request for comment.

LaFrance said Tasker would receive three to 10 years in state prison under a negotiated sentence, with the ability to ask for six months to be suspended off the minimum amount if he completes a sex offender program.

Tasker, a Republican from Nottingham, resigned in March 2016. Prosecutors accused him of using social media to lure an undercover police officer posing as a 14-year-old girl for sex.
