Law enforcement arrested in a sting operation the two men accused of attempting to have sex with minors, according to the Idaho Attorney General’s Office.

This first arrest involved a 29-year-old Boise man taken into custody on Friday after being accused of attempting to have sex with a 15-year-old girl.

Omar Trejo is suspected of communicating with an undercover investigator he believed to be a woman and her 15-year-old daughter and arranged to meet them for sex at a Meridian business.

When Trejo arrived at the establishment, he was arrested and charged with attempted lewd conduct with a child younger than 16. He was then booked into the Ada County jail.

Also on Friday, investigators arrested a Payette man who is suspected of contacting an undercover investigator posing as a 15-year-old girl for the purpose of engaging in sexual activity.

In the Payette case, 20-year-old Matthew Allen Caldwell allegedly arranged to meet the minor at a location in Payette.

Caldwell was arrested and booked into the Payette County Jail. He’s charged with enticing a child through use of the internet or other communication device.
