On or about November 5-6, 2025, officers from the Bloomington Police Department, in conjunction with other law enforcement agencies, participated in an undercover prostitution operation targeting solicitation of minors for sexual conduct. The operation was conducted from locations within Hennepin County, State of Minnesota. Officers placed ads on multiple websites offering prostitution services. One of the individuals who responded to an ad was BRYON MAURICIO NAULA FLORES [DOB REDACTED], the defendant herein.
The defendant then engaged in a text conversation with an undercover officer (UC) posing as a 17-year-old girl. The defendant contacted “UC” on 11/5/25 by texting the number in the ad asking "UC" if she was available and asked for pricing for 20 minutes. Defendant was told that "UC's" rate was $100 for "qv", which refers to 15-20 minutes of time for sexual contact/conduct. Defendant agreed and asked for the address. Defendant was advised that "UC" was only 17. Defendant initially said that he didn't think it was a good idea.
Defendant then said "I just want to have sex." Defendant was advised again that "UC" was 17 and a picture was sent. Defendant stated, "I'm sorry, she's very young, I don't want any trouble." Approximately thirty minutes later, Defendant reached out again and indicated that he would come and asked for a picture or video call. Defendant then asked if "UC" would come down to meet him when he arrived. The defendant was given an address being used by law enforcement to meet “UC” which was located in Richfield, Hennepin County, Minnesota.
When the defendant arrived, he was placed under arrest. Officers searched the defendant. Officers located and seized the defendant’s cell phone and $161 in cash he had in possession. A confirmatory text message was placed to the number the defendant had been using to communicate with "UC" and the text came through on Defendant's phone. Defendant was booked and released pending formal complaint.
