A former Border Patrol agent accused of trying to arrange sexual encounters with two girls pleaded guilty Tuesday.
Salvador Contreras faces up to life in prison on charges of attempting to entice a minor to engage in sexual activity, the Associated Press reports.
The 50-year-old resigned from his position as a senior Border Patrol agent in Del Rio following his arrest in December.
Authorities said Contreras was busted in an online sting in which an undercover officer posed as a woman who had two daughters, ages 8 and 14, available for sex.
