Walnut Creek Man Arrested in Police Sting Operation for Alleged Inappropriate Online Chats with Minor
-
Walnut Creek police arrested a 40-year-old AI employee, Faiz Munshi, in an online child sex sting operation where an undercover cop posed as a 13-year-old girl.
-
Munshi was charged with 3 felonies contacting a minor for a sexual offense and 2 counts of attempted lewd act on a minor.
-
Police say the charges stem from inappropriate sexual chats Munshi had with the pretend 13-year-old girl.
-
Munshi showed up to meet the "girl" in person, but claims he thought she was a malfunctioning bot and wanted to investigate.
-
Munshi messaged the pretend girl saying "Hopefully you are not under 18" but later discussed having sex after learning she was 13.
