After exchanging sexually explicit messages online, Bond and the girl got together and allegedly engaged in sex acts.
Facebook notified the Tempe police about the sexual exchanges between Bond and the teen.
In March 2019, Bond was arrested on unrelated warrants, and then admitted to his online and physical relationship with the teen. But Bond wasn't booked on any of the sex charges at that time, as the alleged victim had yet to be found and interviewed.
After interviewing the girl, Bond was arrested on July 17. He is being charged with five counts of sexual conduct with a minor, two counts of sexual exploitation of a minor, and one count of aggravated luring a minor for sexual exploitation.
The prosecutor in the case initally asked for a bond of $150,000 cash. Bond begged for it to be reduced, explaining that with a bond that high, "I lose literally everything, my home, my job, everything I have."
The judge gave Bond a $25,000 secured bond, but said that Bond additionally would not be allowed any contact with minors aside from his three-year-old son.
