A 22-year-old Murrieta man suspected of soliciting sex from a Temecula girl during online conversations was charged with contacting a minor to commit a felony Thursday.
Alan Francis Garrido Escobedo was arrested Tuesday for allegedly engaging in explicit conversations with a teenage girl via social media and sending her lewd snapshots of himself, according to the sheriff’s department. He also allegedly asked for a rendezvous to have sex, according to a sheriff’s statement.
Detectives first became aware of the relationship between Escobedo and the girl, whose age was not disclosed, on Jan. 14. It was unknown how Escobedo had allegedly been communicating with the girl.
He was arrested without incident Tuesday morning at his residence in the 26000 block of Peachwood Drive in Murrieta, according to the sheriff’s department.
Escobedo, being held on $10,000 bail, has no documented prior felony convictions in Riverside County.
Anyone with information related to the case was asked to contact the sheriff’s Temecula station at (951) 696-3000.
