BEND, Ore. (AP) - A central Oregon man has been arrested on suspicion of arranging a sexual encounter with a 15-year-old at a hotel.

KTVZ-TV reports (https://bit.ly/2lmrfH5) that the 43-year-old man was arrested at his Prineville home Tuesday. He faces several luring and sex abuse charges and is expected to make his first appearance in court on Wednesday.

Bend police say the suspect met the teen online and arranged the meeting with the juvenile in January.



Authorities learned of the alleged sexual encounter last week.

The suspect remains held on $800,000 bail.
