John Christopher Kaye is accused of inappropriately talking to who he thought was a teenage girl, who turned out to be an undercover officer.

RIO RANCHO, N.M. — A Rio Rancho man is facing charges in another state for trying to meet up for sex with a teen girl who turned out to be an undercover cop.

Police arrested 46-year-old John Christopher Kay for allegedly getting permission from a 14-year-old girl and her guardian to pay for her to fly to Albuquerque for sex and to pay her for the acts.

The teenager and the guardian were actually people working undercover with the Shasta County Sheriff’s Office in California.

Kay is in the Sandoval County jail on charges of human trafficking, contacting a minor with sexual intent, arranging to meet with a minor for sexual intent and pandering a person under 16 years old. He is awaiting extradition to California, where his bail is set at $1.2 million.
