A San Antonio man has to serve eight years in prison for sending sexually inappropriate messages to someone he believed to be a teenage girl, with intentions of meeting up, according to the San Antonio Police Department.
“Cases like this should serve as a reminder to parents to know what your child is doing on his or her electronic devices. Predators like this will make friends with your children, gain their trust then make efforts to steal their innocence. This defendant had no idea he was talking to an officer. Had he actually been communicating with a teenage girl, there’s no telling how this would have ended,” said Bexar County District Attorney Joe Gonzales.
Garcia pled guilty to the offense on Monday. In addition to his eight-year prison sentence, he must register as a sex offender for 10 years.
