36-year-old Francisco Javier Contreras Sanchez was booked into the Canyon County Jail. He is alleged to have solicited a minor child to participate in a sexual act.

The Caldwell Police Department, Nampa Police Department and the Canyon County Prosecuting Attorney’s Office assisted the ICAC Unit with the arrest.
