This deployment included an extended stay hotel room. Cabrera was hoping to bring a &#8220;15-year-old girl&#8221; to this room. However, this individual was an agent. Cabrera purchased condoms and gummy bears, as this individual requested, but was arrested as he made his way to the meeting point.<\/p>\n<p><strong><span style=\"color: #0000ff\">From the El Paso Times:<\/span><\/strong><\/p>\n<blockquote><p>Assistant District Attorney John Briggs said that Cabrera was communicating online with an undercover agent posing as a 15-year-old girl.<\/p>\n<p>During the conversations with the girl, Cabrera told her that he was in the Army and was only going to be in El Paso for a little while before eventually discussing plans to have sex with her in his room at an extended-stay hotel, Briggs said.<\/p>\n<p>The prosecution alleged that Cabrera made plans to meet the girl at a nearby restaurant before planning to take her to his room for an illicit underage tryst.<\/p>\n<p>Crime:Soldier &#8216;possessed by devil&#8217; arrested in night home break-in<\/p>\n<p>A surveillance team watched Cabrera leave the hotel and go to a gas station, where he purchased &#8220;condoms and gummy bears, because she also requested gummy bears along with protection,&#8221; Briggs said.<\/p>\n<p>Cabrera then returned to his hotel. The girl soon texted him, saying she was at the restaurant. Cabrera was arrested while on his way to the meeting at the restaurant, the prosecution said.<\/p>\n<p>Texas DPS and other law enforcement agencies regularly run undercover online solicitation-of-a-minor and prostitution stings, modern variations of the street-walker prostitution stings of decades past.<\/p>\n<p>More:Fort Bliss soldier accused in &#8216;home invasion&#8217; sex assault stays jailed<\/p>\n<p>On Monday, Cabrera remained incarcerated at the El Paso County Jail in Downtown under a $40,000 total bond.
