Charge: Eichorn repeatedly asked for paid sex rates, age from undercover officer
Police arrested the 40-year-old Grand Rapids Republican on March 17, 2025, in Bloomington after he arrived to meet who he apparently believed was a 17-year-old sex worker.

The Hennepin County criminal complaint stated that between March 11-13 and again on Monday, March 17, Eichorn contacted the undercover officer through an online prostitution ad. He requested rates for "Qv or hhr," which according to police, stands for "quick visit" or a half-hour of time for sexual conduct. The officer told Eichorn she was 17 years old at least two separate times over the course of the conversations.
