A jury found Davinder Singh Saini guilty of child solicitation in Johnson County late Thursday night following a three-day trial that extended past midnight due to interpreter scheduling issues.

Case Details

Prosecutors said Saini attempted to arrange a sexual encounter with an undercover officer posing as a 15-year-old girl online. The case stemmed from a November 2023 sting operation conducted by the Johnson County Sheriff’s Department and the Franklin Police Department.

Authorities arrested Saini after he allegedly traveled to meet the person he believed was a teenage girl. Sentencing is expected at a later date. Under Indiana law, the conviction carries a potential prison sentence of up to 12 years.
