A 38-year-old San Antonio resident, Roberto Moreno-Garcia, pleaded guilty to attempted solicitation of a minor earlier this month, allowing him to evade any jail time should he meet his sex-offender probation terms.
Moreno-Garcia first was arrested in July of last year during a sting operation hosted by state troopers, local law enforcement and local prosecutors. He was arrested on charges of online solicitation of a minor, including sexual conduct and driving while intoxicated after he communicated online with an undercover officer.
According to information from Kendall County Assistant Criminal District Attorney Nick Socias, Moreno-Garcia initially agreed to meet with the undercover officer thinking she was an adult, but the agent told him she was 16 after he was on the way. Socias said this was a factor considered when reducing his felony charges to a third-degree sentencing range.
