A Sierra Vista man was arrested Monday in a sexting case involving two teen girls.

James Nobles, 28, is facing two counts of aggravated luring of a minor, and two counts of luring of a minor, said Carol Capas, a Cochise County Sheriff's spokeswoman.

He was booked into the Cochise County jail and is being held in lieu of a $100,000 bond.

On Monday, Sierra Vista Police officers received a report that Nobles was texting two girls, ages 16 and 17, with inappropriate messages.

Detectives learned that Nobles' texting was sexual in nature and included a request for photographs, authorities said.

The investigation revealed that Nobles had sent a sexually explicit photo to the 17-year-old, and that he had made plans to meet with her in order to engage in sex, said authorities.
