Two of the suspects, Ross Nathaniel Greenhill and Jonathan Robert Rodriguez, are accused of soliciting an agent posing as a parent to have sex with a 13-year-old girl.
Another suspect, Altravias Jaabar King, was released from prison on March 1, 2024, for attempted homicide after serving a 10-year sentence. At the time of his arrest, he was on parole.
“Some of the men arrested also transmitted images of their genitals, pornographic videos, and other images that may be harmful to minors, in addition to soliciting minors or parents with access to minors for sex with children during the undercover operation,” stated OPD on social media.
The police department added that three of these cases have been adopted federally and the suspects will be prosecuted by the U.S. Attorney’s Office. The remaining eight cases will be prosecuted by the State Attorney’s Office for the Ninth Judicial Circuit.
The Orlando Police Department is reminding parents to monitor the social media and online accounts of their children, and to report any incidents to their local police department or sheriff’s office.
