Redding Police Detectives say they have caught a potential child sex predator after baiting him on the Internet. An undercover decoy posing as a 15-year-old girl reportedly caught the attention of 33-year-old Ramiro Gonzalez-Cordova of Modesto. The two began chatting and Gonzalez-Cordova soon allegedly began trying to arrange a meeting for sex. He drove 4 hours to meet with the target near her purported home, only to be met by detectives. There was apparently a struggle before he was taken into custody booked into jail, where he remains on $25,000 bail. Redding Police say they’ve made 8 arrests through similar investigations in a little over three months.
