ROY, Utah -- A 27-year-old man faces charges of sexual involvement with a minor.

Luis Salguero was attested and booked into Weber County jail Tuesday for unlawful intercourse and enticing a minor, a 15-year-old girl, on the Internet.

Salguero is an airman stationed in Honolulu, Hawaii. He has been in Utah for the last few weeks visiting family in Magna.

According to police, Salguero's profile displays accurate photos of his face but lies about his age, posing as a teenager, on the website "meetme.com."

Investigators said Salguero confessed to having sex with a 15-year-old girl in the Roy area as well as another female prior to that in Salt Lake City.

His profile on the social website displays accurate photos, but he lies about his age, according to authorities.

Police said they have located at least three girls that have been contacted by Salguero.

"He has found girls connected to this site in an area close enough to him to get around and travel. We have identified three, there could be more and that's part of getting this story out, is there could be more," said Chief Gregory Whinham, Roy City Police Department. "He is a predator because he is looking for contact with multiple people for sexual activity."

Salguero was released on bail. Salt Lake officials are constructing their case to bring charges against Salguero. Additionally, officials in Hawaii are investigating him for having a 16-year-old in his resident on base.
