The defendant repeatedly initiated sexually explicit discussions via AOL! Instant Messenger with the person he thought was the thirteen year-old victim.  He sent the victim sexually explicit images of himself, and arranged a meeting with the victim.  He actually traveled to meet the victim in Turlock. Stanislaus County detectives arrested the defendant when he showed up at the pre-arranged meeting site at a Del Taco in Turlock. At the time of his arrest, he had in his possession half of a blue pill which he told officers was viagra, a tube of KY jelly, and a digital camera.   The defendant even paid for a motel room where he had placed condoms and pornographic materials, in anticipation of his return to the motel room with his victim. 

On March 16, 2004, Stanislaus County detectives executed a search warrant at the defendant’s residence and, and following a computer forensics analysis, located the AOL! Instant Messenger chats with the victim saved on his computer hard drive.
