Overview
- Hunter Rivera and Ismaaeel Abdur-Rahmaan were arrested after arriving Thursday to buy sex from supposed children during a Larimer County undercover sting.
- Deputies said they posed online as minors offering sexual acts, and dozens replied to the decoy ads but only two men came to the meeting spot.
- Both suspects were booked into the Larimer County Jail on four felony counts, including soliciting a child prostitute, internet luring, cybercrime tied to arranging sex with a minor, and attempted sexual assault on a child.
- Judges set cash-only bonds at $6,500 for Rivera and $7,500 for Abdur-Rahmaan pending their first court appearances.
- After state Republican leaders urged his exit on Friday, the Weld County GOP accepted Rivera’s resignation and named First Vice Chair Adrienne Sandoval acting chair under its bylaws.
