YUMA, Ariz. (KYMA, KECY) - A Customs and Border Protection (CBP) agent accused of sexual conduct with a minor was back in court.

31-year-old Ramon Marquez was informed he will be back in court on October 15 for a trial setting and change of plea hearing.

He's facing 15 counts, including sexual intercourse, oral sexual conduct and sexual exploitation of a minor who is 16-years-old.

Back in April, Yuma police said they received information from CBP's Office of Professional Responsibility in regards to "inappropriate behavior involving one of their agents and a minor."

After a brief investigation, Marquez was arrested in Wellton.
