On March 2nd at about 10:30 pm Peoria Police officers responded to a
house in the 7500 block of West Corrine reference a sexual conduct with
a minor call. A 13 year old female from Phoenix told officers that a few
months ago she met the suspect on the internet. At one point he showed
up at her house in Phoenix and her mother chased him off telling the
suspect her daughter was 12 years old. They had no contact for months
and then on February 28th the victim called the suspect and asked him to
pick her up. He took her to his house in Peoria where they had
consensual sexual relations. After that they went to Phoenix where he
told her how to solicit acts of prostitution which she did on several
occasions. On March 2nd at about 10:30 pm they returned to the suspect's
house in Peoria and the victim was left unattended in his car. The
victim called her home and talked with a Phoenix officer who instructed
her to flee to a neighbor's house which she did.

The suspect was contacted, admitted his involvement in the crimes during
an interview with a detective from Peoria's Special Victims Unit and
booked at MCSO 4th Avenue Jail on charges of Sexual Conduct with a Minor
