A jury has convicted a 24-year-old Sun Valley man on several child sex-related charges.
The Washoe County District Attorney's Office says Gerson Rax-Pop tried to have sex with what he thought was a 14-year-old at a local park, after messaging a decoy Facebook account operated by the Washoe County Human Exploitation and Recovery Operations (HERO) team last December.
Rax-Pop was found guilty of Attempted Kidnapping of a Minor, Lure or Attempt to Lure Child with Use of Computer Technology to Engage in Sexual Conduct, Attempted Child Abuse or Neglect Involving Sexual Abuse, and Attempted Statutory Sexual Seduction by Person Over 21.
Sentencing is set for August 13th.
