Tucson indictment says 2 men sought sex with minors online

Two Arizona men are accused of soliciting undercover agents posing as minors for sex online.

The Office of the Arizona Attorney General said Tuesday that a state grand jury indicted 34-year-old Vladimir Rodriguez and 23-year-old Fabian Tomas Montoya Renteria on charges of luring a minor for sexual exploitation.

They also face one count each of attempted sexual conduct with a minor.

The indictment says their arrests stem from a multi-agency operation.

Authorities say both men propositioned law enforcement agents for sex acts believing they were young teens.

The men also are accused of showing up at a Tucson home last month to carry out the solicitation.

It was not immediately clear Wednesday if either man had an attorney who could speak on his behalf.
