INDIO (CNS) – A Desert Hot Springs man pleaded guilty Monday to possessing sexual images of a minor and is set to be sentenced next month.
Pedro Alfredo Elizalde pleaded guilty Monday to one felony count of possessing matter depicting a minor in a sexual act, according to court records. He additionally admitted to sentence-enhancements of images portraying a minor sexually and images of a minor under 12 years old.
He’s set to be sentenced Aug. 8 at the Larson Justice Center in Indio.
Police detectives and the Riverside County District Attorney’s Office Child Exploitation Team investigated the online exploitation of children by a suspect in Desert Hot Springs, according to Christopher Saucier of the Desert Hot Springs Police Department.
