(SALT LAKE CITY)—After federal prosecutors agreed to dismiss the case because of medical issues, state prosecutors have now charged a retired Air Force major busted in an Internet sex sting. The Utah Attorney General’s Office charged 45-year old Reinaldo L. Canton with three Class A misdemeanor counts of enticing a minor. The charges were filed Tuesday in Salt Lake City’s 3rd District Court. Canton was originally charged in federal court in Salt Lake City back in 2007, but the case was dropped earlier this year due to issues surrounding his health. In court papers, Canton’s attorney argued he suffered from a life-threatening heart condition and the stress and strain of criminal prosecution would put his life at risk. The Utah U.S. Attorney General’s Office agreed to dismiss the case, with prejudice, meaning the charges could be refiled at any time. The charging documents claim that Canton arranged a sexual liaison over the Internet with someone he thought was a 15-year old girl. The “girl” turned out to be an undercover police officer. After arriving at the Layton Hills Mall, Canton was arrested. Canton had a litany of excuses ready, officers said while a court appearance has not yet been scheduled.
