WICHITA, KAN, – An illegal alien from Guatemala deported multiple times pleaded guilty to attempting to have sex with a minor.
According to court documents, Nicolas Perez-Paxtor, 40, pleaded guilty to one count of attempted coercion and enticement of a minor.
In February 2026, Perez-Paxtor chatted online with a Kansas Bureau of Investigation (KBI) agent in posing as a 15-year-old girl living in Kansas. Although the undercover agent claimed several times to be 15 years old, Perez-Paxtor repeatedly solicited sex and offered to pay $100 in exchange for sex.
Perez-Paxtor’s chats were translated from Spanish to English. In one message Perez-Paxtor wrote, “I really like you a lot but I always feel sorry because you are still a little girl. But I want to see you.” Agents arrested Perez-Paxtor at the meeting location in Kansas, and found him with condoms, $100, and the cellphone he used to set up the meeting for sex with a minor.
Perez was deported twice in 2012.
Homeland Security Investigations (HSI) and Kansas Bureau of Investigation (KBI) are investigating the case.
