Mexican National Illegally Present in the Country Charged with Attempted Enticement of a Minor

Alex Huerta-Sanchez, a Mexican national residing in Faribault, Minnesota, has been charged with attempted enticement of a minor, announced Acting U.S. Attorney Lisa D. Kirkpatrick.



According to court documents, on March 14, 2025, Alex Misael Huerta-Sanchez, 31, attempted to entice a minor under the age of 18 years old to engage in sexually explicit conduct. Huerta-Sanchez was illegally present in the United States at the time of his crime.



The indictment charges Huerta-Sanchez with one count of enticement of a minor. He made his initial appearance in U.S. District Court today before Magistrate Judge John F. Docherty, who ordered that he remain in custody pending further court proceedings.



"The U.S. Attorney's Office will continue to prioritize the prosecution of sexual predators—particularly those who would prey on minors,” said Acting U.S. Attorney Lisa D. Kirkpatrick. "I am grateful to the Bloomington Police Department, to Homeland Security Investigations, and to all law enforcement officers who use undercover operations to identify and arrest child sex predators to prevent them from abusing real children.”



This case is the result of an investigation by the Bloomington Police Department and Homeland Security Investigations.



Assistant U.S. Attorney Matthew D. Evans is prosecuting the case.
