Michael Schweitzer
Michael Richard Schweitzer, 56, of Cedar Creek, was charged with online solicitation of a minor after investigators with the attorney general's Cyber Crimes Unit say he sent explicit materials to someone he thought was a 13-year-old girl. It was actually an undercover investigator.
Schweitzer pleaded guilty, and once his sentence is complete, he will have to register as a sex offender for 10 years.
“Few things are more frightening to parents than a sex predator driving their children to school each morning,” Attorney General Greg Abbott said in a news release. “The Cyber Crimes Unit will continue working tirelessly to protect Texas children.”
Schweitzer was arrested in October 2007.
