A former Horizon High School teacher pleaded guilty to sexual exploitation of a minor on Wednesday in El Paso federal court, the U.S. Attorney’s Office said.
FBI agents arrested Ricardo Ortiz, now 30, when he arrived at a home to have a sexual encounter with an undercover agent posing as a 14-year-old boy that he met on social media in 2020, officials said.
The investigation found Ortiz allegedly had past sexual encounters with at least three minors in the El Paso area and child pornography was found on his electronic devices, authorities said Wednesday.
