Cops: NM man pretended to be cop, made lewd calls

Posted: Updated:

ALBUQUERQUE, N.M. (AP) - An Albuquerque man has been ordered held on $25,000 cash bail after police said he called women and minors pretending to be a detective and asked them to perform adult acts over the phone.

KRQE reports  that 26-year-old Peter Ortiz made his first court appearance Sunday. A criminal complaint says Ortiz made the perverted phone calls to at least 3 women.

Online court records show that Ortiz also is facing trial for 2 counts of attempted child rape.

Police say Ortiz thought he arranged to pay for sex with a 10-year-old girl back in 2009. He was arrested at the meeting spot; a local McDonald's.

It was unclear if Ortiz had hired an attorney.
