An arrest warrant claims that Rodolfo Ruiz Mendoza tried to lure his babysitter's 12-year-old daughter to Mexico to have sex through text messages. The 38-year-old was arrested Thursday on a charge of on-line solicitation. He was also booked on his second DWI charge and an immigration hold in the Bexar County Detention Center.
San Antonio police said Mendoza started texting the victim over the summer. She reportedly told police he, initially, texted her approximately 3 times asking her to have sex with him. In fact, the document claims in one message the suspect told the young girl he wanted to take her to Laredo at 5 a.m. and eventually into Mexico to have sex.
Police said the girl's mother found cell phone and the text message. However, she did not call the authorities. Instead, she reportedly confronted Mendoza. But the warrant said the determined suspect bought the 12-year-old another cell phone.
According to investigators, he sent the victim messages under the names "Bear" and "My Baby." The warrant said his propositions were in Spanish. He's alleged to have said "Vamos hacer el amor en Mexico," which translates as, "We are going to make love in Mexico." In addition, he allegedly texted the young girl, "I do love you, and yes, I will be taking you to Nayarit."
Police got the case after the victim's mother found the second phone in late September.
