Mauricio Edgardo Estrada admitted to U.S. District Judge Dale Fischer to using the internet to plan the paid sexual encounter with a minor. The "girl" turned out to be an undercover law enforcement officer.

Estrada, 29, responded to a Craigslist advertisement promising sex with a minor in April 2016. He exchanged emails and text messages with the "girl" and agreed to pay $150 for sex, according to his plea agreement, filed in Los Angeles federal court. His sentencing is scheduled for Nov. 13.

Prosecutors are asking for a sentence of five years behind bars, followed by 10 years of supervised release.

Estrada was originally charged last year with attempted sex trafficking of a child and use of the internet to induce a minor to engage in criminal sexual activity, but federal prosecutors subsequently filed the new charge to which he will plead.
