(KAIR)--A former firefighter for the City of Saint Joseph pleads guilty to a charge of felony attempted rape. 

KQ2-TV reports Jeremy Wigchert entered the plea Thursday, with his sentencing now set for June. 

Arrested in February, Wigchert was accused of traveling to a Saint Joseph apartment complex to meet a 15-year-old for sex. 

Authorities say he had arranged to meet the teen through a series of sexually explicit emails. 

A resident of Kansas City, Wigchert had been with the Saint Joseph Fire Department for about a year at the time of his arrest.
