Sentencing of Sarcoxie man for sexual exploitation of 11-year-old girl canceled due to lawyer's illness


The sentencing of a Sarcoxie man for sexual exploitation of an 11-year-old girl, originally scheduled for today, was canceled after the attorney for Brian Florian-Palma came down with flu-like symptoms.

Florian-Palma, 43, pleaded guilty May 30 to the sex charge. He is already serving a 15-year sentence on federal meth trafficking and weapons charges.

Florian-Palma was reported to authorities by his girlfriend, a Joplin woman, after she discovered suspicious photos on his phone, according to the plea agreement.

The sentencing will be rescheduled.
