MONROE — A man living in Monroe was sentenced Monday in a U.S. District Court in Maryland to 10 years in prison and a lifetime of supervised release for having sex in Maryland with the 15-year daughter of a close friend.

In November 2011, the girl moved to Monroe to live with her mother and stepfather.

Family friend Edgar Daniel Mazariegos-Cifuentes, 40, visited the house often and was "treated as a member of the family," according to the U.S. Attorney's Office in Maryland.

Between November 2011 and August 2012, Mazariegos began phoning the girl and posting Facebook messages on her timeline professing his love for her.

On Aug. 13, 2012, the girl had an argument with her mother and called Mazariegos. He picked her up the next day, but instead of taking her to an uncle's house in Boston, which he had done before, he brought her to a Silver Spring, Md., hotel to have sex with her.

He later rented a room in an apartment building, saying the 15-year-old was his girlfriend.

On Aug. 25, Mazariegos was arrested.

When interviewed, the girl said Mazariegos took her phone away and told her they were starting a new life together. Over the course of 11 days, he forced her to have sex with him, the U.S. Attorney's Office said.
