According to the complaint, Back agreed to pay $200 for an hour and arrived at the arranged Bloomington location. When he texted “I’m here,” officers saw his vehicle, registered to his wife, pull in. Police arrested him as he walked toward the entrance.

Investigators say they confirmed the same phone used to arrange the meeting was recovered from Back at the scene. In a post-Miranda interview, Back reportedly told police: "I don’t really know if there is anything to say. It’s all there in the texts."

Back is charged with felony prostitution involving a minor, accused of hiring or agreeing to hire someone he believed to be 17 years old. The offense carries a maximum penalty of five years in prison and/or a $10,000 fine. At the time of his arrest, Back was working for Immigration and Customs Enforcement, according to Bloomington police. Hodges said Back could also face federal charges.
