PORT ANGELES — A level 3 sex offender was sentenced to five years in prison Thursday for luring five underage girls into his motel room last summer and attempting to keep an 18-year-old woman inside the room against her will.
Daniel E. Klein, 26, pleaded guilty to the charges of unlawful imprisonment and five counts of communicating with a minor for immoral purposes March 22.
On July 18, five 13-year-old girls who Klein met the day before came to his Flagstone Motel room.
There he attempted to have sex with one of them before they left, police said.
On Aug. 8, Klein attempted to forcibly keep an 18-year-old woman in his motel room until the girl’s aunt started pounding on the door.
Klein has been convicted for third-degree assault with sexual motivation after victimizing an 18-year-old woman in January 2008.
