Investigators said Gutierrez and the teen met in May 2011. According to a federal criminal complaint, Gutierrez said the bill for the first month would be free. After that, she'd have to pay him in nude photos. Eventually, Gutierrez forced himself into the sexually explicit photos, even though the girl repeatedly said no and offered to do other things for the phone, said investigators. Gutierrez allowed her to clean his yard and wash his car but told her afterwards that he lied and "it wasn't enough."

APD detectives acting on a tip contacted the teen in November 2011. Police served a search warrant on Gutierrez's former home on the Westside.
