LAS VEGAS (KTNV) – A man accused of trying to lure two children into his vehicle in northwest Las Vegas has been sentenced.

All this started in February.

Police say an 11-year-old child was approached near Buffalo Drive and Elkhorn Road by a man driving a black two-door sedan.

The girl told police the driver, later identified as Irving Malagon, 31, said he waved her over and she thought he was her uncle. However, as she got closer, she realized that it wasn’t her uncle and that Malagon’s pants were down with his ‘zone’ in his hand.

She saw a couple nearby getting into a vehicle in the driveway and ran to them for help.

Las Vegas police were able to track down Malagon and arrested him the day after the incident.

During a interview with officersMalagon told police he was from Fresno, California and came to Las Vegas for work. He said he had been in the valley for about a month, had no family or friends in the area and was sleeping in his vehicle.

The report states that when officers asked about the girl’s approach, Malagon said she didn’t do or say anything inappropriate and asked if her father was one of the construction workers on the roof of a nearby home.

When officers asked about the exposure, Malagon allegedly “claimed he had to urinate on the street because he really had to walk bad.”

Because of the allegations, Las Vegas police sent Malagon’s photo and a description to other local police jurisdictions in case other incidents happened, and a woman came forward saying something similar happened to her niece in the same area.

Malagon was charged with enticing children with intent to engage in sexual conduct, open or gross lewdness in the presence of a child and attempted lewdness in the presence of a child.

Court records show that last week, he was found guilty of all three charges.

A judge sentenced Malagon to 42 to 105 months in prison. That is from three and a half years to about eight and a half years in prison.

When Malagon is released from prison, he must also register as a sex offender.
