A Florida man has been sentenced to 90 days in the Harris County Jail and fined $1,000 for bringing his 6-year-old daughter with him when he went to a Harris County hotel for sex.

Jean Rolex Fleurine, 32, of North Miami, Florida, thought he was going to meet a prostitute on July 21, but the woman turned out to be an undercover Harris County Sheriff's Office deputy, according to law enforcement records.

Fleurine was convicted and sentenced Wednesday of prostitution after a two-day trial in a case prosecuted by the Harris County District Attorney's Office Sex Crimes Division.

Fleurine got involved in the case after responding to an advertisement on a website known for sex solicitation, prosecutors said. He contacted the deputy with a text message and agreed to meet her at the hotel and pay for sex.

In the text, Fleurine told the deputy he was bringing his daughter and asked if that would be ok. "She won't know what's going on," he said.

Undercover surveillance video showed that when he arrived, Fleurine told his daughter to sit on the hotel room's queen-sized bed and turned up the TV, playing the show "Family Feud." He went into the bathroom with the deputy, expecting to have sex, but was arrested.

During his trial, Fleurine maintained that he was conducting research on the sex industry, noting that in 2014, he wrote a college paper on the dangers of prostitution, the district attorney's office said.

Countering his defense, prosecutor Kimberly Ikegbunam read portions of Fleurine's paper aloud for jurors, including this passage: "Prostitution will always be a problem in America because kinky men will always be willing to pay for sex."
