PHOENIX -- A California attorney is accused of trying to arrange a sexual encounter with an underage girl in Oregon.

Irachmil B. Taus, 66, was arrested Friday at the Arizona Biltmore Hotel in Pheonix, on one count of coercion and enticement of a minor, said FBI spokeswoman Susan Herskovits.

The arrest of Taus, who lives in Scottsdale but has a Beverly Hills law practice, stemmed from an investigation by authorities in Hillsboro.

He had allegedly been trying to arrange a meeting through the Internet with a girl.

He made an initial appearance in U.S. District Court in Phoenix on Monday but will likely be taken to Oregon to face charges there, Herskovits said.

A Beverly Hills telephone number for Taus, provided by the California Bar Association, went unanswered Tuesday.
