WILMER, Texas (AP) - A registered sex offender is running for mayor of a Dallas-area town. James Brian Sliter (SLY'-ter) wants to be mayor of Wilmer (WIL'-mer). Records show Sliter was arrested four years ago for arranging sex with whom he thought was a 15-year-old girl on the Internet. But when Sliter got to the meeting place, he was greeted by police instead of a teenager. Sliter, who is now 42, says he needs to prove he can be an asset to his community. He says he's truly sorry and hopes voters realize that people make mistakes. According to state records, Sliter was charged with attempting to commit sexual assault of a child and placed on 10 years probation. He's eligible to run because he received deferred adjudication and not a conviction. The election in Wilmer is May 10th.
