SALT LAKE CITY — A man convicted twice of crimes against juveniles has been arrested again.
Christopher Philip Padilla, 31, was booked into the Salt Lake County Jail on Friday for investigation of enticing a minor.
In October, Padilla began chatting online with an undercover officer posing as a young girl, according to a police affidavit.
“Chris offered the girl work and said he would pay her money in the hundreds and even a thousand,” the affidavit states.
He requested that the girl video chat with him and show him her underwear, and then told the girl he’d be willing to pay her friends, too, if they were “willing to work,” according to the affidavit.
After sending sexually explicit messages to the undercover officer, the two arranged to meet on Friday, the affidavit states. When he arrived at the designed meeting location, he was taken into custody.
When he was arrested, Padilla admitted he had offered to pay an underage girl and “thanked detectives for stopping him from doing something he would regret,” according to the affidavit.
The affidavit states that Padilla was on parole at the time of his arrest. In 2015 he was convicted of unlawful sexual activity with a minor and enticing a minor, according to court records, and was sentenced to probation.
But in 2016 he was arrested and charged again and in 2017 convicted of enticing a minor. He was sentenced in that case to 1 to 15 years in the Utah State Prison.
