HARRIS COUNTY, Texas – A Harris County man was arrested after investigators say he used online messaging to arrange a meeting with someone he believed was a child.
Maximiano Torres, 28, was charged with online solicitation of a minor following an undercover operation conducted by the Harris County Precinct 4 Constable’s Office. The charge is classified as a second-degree felony.
According to investigators, members of the constable’s Criminal Investigations Division posed as juveniles on social media while looking for adults willing to travel for a sexual encounter.

Detectives were waiting at the location and arrested Torres, authorities said.
Torres was booked into the Harris County Jail. Court records show he has an $80,000 bond and that an ICE detainer has been issued.
Records show Torres is scheduled for arraignment on Sept. 29 at 8:30 a.m.
