Condemned sex offender who appeared on “ to catch a predator ”

A sex offender who was captured in a bite on the television show “To catch a predator” almost 20 years ago was arrested again – this time in the County of Orange – suspected of having sexually assaulted A minor.

Prosecutors charged Robert Rudy Salinas, 63 in prison and the judicial archives.

Garden Grove police officials provided no details on the case and said he was under investigation. The crime involved a victim between 14 and 15 years old and took place on New Year’s day, according to the criminal complaint.

Salinas pleaded not guilty and his lawyer immediately made a request for comments.

In their complaint against Salinas, Orange county prosecutors underlined a previous conviction which implied its appearance on “to catch a predator”.

In 2007, Salinas thought he was sending obscene messages to a 13 -year -old girl and promised to bring sandwiches and ice cream at home. Salinas has rather entered a bite operation and was greeted by the host Chris Hansen.

“I deserve what you do to me, but please for your forgiveness,” said Salinas to Hansen in the episode.

Salinas said he was a father and tried to leave the house with sandwiches and ice cream, but was arrested by police. He was found guilty of having tried to commit obscene or lascivious acts with a child under the age of 14 and is registered on the Megan’s Law website.
