SAN ANTONIO — A 40-year-old San Antonio man was taken into custody after allegedly trying to meet with who he thought was a teen girl for sexual acts, authorities say.
According to SAPD Spokesperson Ricardo Guzman, Carlos Camero was arrested on Thursday after messaging who he believed to be a 14-year-old girl online. While police wouldn't clarify whether the person he was actually messaging was a teen girl, a law enforcement officer or someone else, Guzman said he attempted to orchestrate a meeting for sex.
Camero has been charged with solicitation of a minor with intent, a second-degree felony offense. If convicted he could be sentenced to up to 10 years in prison and/or a fine of $10,000.
