Scottsdale police arrest man for luring minor, giving harmful material
Posted
The Scottsdale Police Department has arrested 40-year-old Michael Aguilar for multiple counts of aggravated luring a minor for sexual exploitation and furnishing harmful material to a minor.
Aguilar is a custodial employee at Ashland Park Elementary School in Gilbert, according to a police press release.
This investigation began as part of Scottsdale Police Department’s Human Exploitation Unit’s efforts to proactively target offenders seeking to allegedly sexually exploit children online and engage with them for sexual conduct.
Aguilar reportedly contacted multiple undercover detectives, who he “believed to be juveniles,” via a cellphone-based application. He had sexually explicit conversations and disseminated harmful material, the release stated.
The investigation is ongoing, however, there is no information that Aguilar had any sexual contact with children at this time, according to the release.
