Christopher Rindfleisch, 21, whose most recent address is listed in Maryland, pleaded guilty to soliciting child prostitution, a felony, and sexual contact, a misdemeanor. He will be sentenced at 10:30 a.m. Aug. 29.
Rindfleisch was one of six men suspected of trying to pay for sex with minors in Durango. Police posted provocative advertisements on public websites near the end of April for girls ages 11 and 14.
Others arrested include: Rory Schmier, 47, of La Plata County; Jason Yazzie Chee, 39, of Bloomfield; Harold Marshall, 45, of Farmington; Charles Earhart Watts, 38, of Durango; and Urunov Timur, 30, residence unknown.
The arrests were the result of a joint investigation by the U.S. Department of Homeland Security, the Durango Police Department and the La Plata County Sheriff’s Office.
