Jose Pablo Inostroza-Ibanez was arrested Sunday after an independent adult investigator posing as a teenager contacted authorities following their encounter.
The investigator was using Grindr when Inostroza-Ibanez contacted the account.

He faces charges of using a computer to solicit a child for sexual conduct, traveling to meet a minor, attempted lewd and lascivious conduct and two counts of electronically transmitting material harmful to a minor.
