Arkansas cop, 31, arrested in child trafficking sting in Texas after trying to have sex with an unde

An Arkansas police officer was arrested in a child trafficking sting after saying he likes being 'the one that our young people can come and talk to'.

Telvin Wilson, 31, was one of three suspects arrested during the sting in Texarkana, Texas and he was charged with online solicitation of a minor, with his bond set at $100,000.

The Texarkana Texas Police Department detailed the two-day operation in a Facebook post, explaining that officers originally placed a fake ad on a website known to offer prostitution services and then posed as an underage girl when men responded. 

The department wrote: 'Even though the "girl" told each of them that she talked to that she was underage, each of the three men still wanted to come meet up with her and offered to pay her for sex. 

'When the guys showed up and knocked, they were shocked when several police officers answered the door instead of the young girl they were expecting.'
