A former Vicksburg resident has been sentenced to 15 years in prison on his guilty plea to enticing a child for sex.

Glen Westbrook, 51, whose most recent local address was 201 Berryman Road, was sentenced Friday to 20 years by Circuit Judge Frank Vollor, District Attorney Gil Martin said.

The judge suspended five of those years and ordered Westbrook to serve five years’ post-release supervision, with any contact between Westbrook and any child forbidden during the post-release supervision, Martin said.

The sentence was on a guilty plea that Westbrook entered Dec. 5, the day before he was scheduled to go on trial on an indictment accusing him of molesting between April 15, 2003, and September 2004, and enticing in January 2005 to engage in sexually explicit conduct a boy who is now 17.

The molesting charge was dropped in a plea deal, Martin has said. The deal, however, included no sentencing recommendation from the prosecution on the enticement conviction, Martin has said.

Westbrook was employed by E-911 as a dispatcher, Martin has said. He was arrested on the charges in Gulfport.
