ST. PAUL, Minn. (AP) - A Minnesota man has to donate 7,000 articles of clothing to schoolchildren as part of his sentence for trafficking in counterfeit sports merchandise.

Fifty-seven-year-old Daniel Ahn of Plymouth was sentenced Monday in federal court for trafficking in counterfeit jerseys, caps and other sports apparel.

Ahn was placed on five years probation and ordered to pay more than $12,000 in restitution and a $50,000 fine.

Ahn pleaded guilty last March. In his plea agreement, he admitted that in November 2009 he trafficked or attempted to traffic in jerseys, caps and other sports apparel at his chain of clothing stores.

Investigators found counterfeit apparel in three of Ahn's stores. The merchandise featured counterfeit logos of the NFL, MLB, NBA, NHL and NCAA.
