B AKERSFIELD, Calif. (KGET) — A man who pleaded no contest to contacting a minor with the intent to commit a sex act was sentenced Thursday to two years’ probation, 300 hours of community service and ordered to register as a sex offender, according to court records. Francisco Ceja, one of several men arrested during a sting in which Bakersfield police detectives posed as a minor online, pleaded no contest to the charge last month.
Ceja and the others, believing they were communicating with a minor, made inappropriate statements, arranged to meet and were arrested when they showed up at the meeting place, police said.
