CHANDLER, Ariz. — A registered sex offender recently responded to an online account he thought belonged to a 14-year-old girl, but he was really responding to an undercover police detective, investigators say.
Chandler police arrested 24-year-old Travis Salmon at an apartment complex on West Galveston Street. He is charged with two counts of child sex trafficking and sexual conduct with a minor.
Court documents show Salmon agreed to pay two underage girls cash in exchange for sex acts.
Detectives arranged a meeting at the apartment complex and arrested Salmon when he arrived for the scheduled encounter.
Salmon has previous convictions on weapons charges, sexual conduct with a minor, child sex trafficking and aggravated luring.
