March 2, 2013

A Fort Walton Beach resident was arrested Friday night after he drove to Escambia County believing he was going to have sexual relations with a 13-year-old girl.

Joshua Patrick Baker, 22, of 554 Kanuah Dr., Fort Walton Beach, was charged with obscene communications using a computer to solicit parent/guardian consent, traveling to meet using a computer to solicit parent or guardian, and using a two-way communicate device to facilitate a felony.

Pensacola Police Department Detective Jeff Brown said Baker began talking with him via the internet on Tuesday and thought he was arranging to have sex with the Brown’s daughter. Baker coordinated tonight’s meeting through Brown.

When Baker arrived at their agreed upon location around 7 p.m., he was met by Brown and placed under arrest. Brown said officers are trying to determine if Baker had contact with any children.

In addition to the Pensacola Police Department, the investigation included members of the Internet Crimes Against Children Task Force., U.S. Department of Homeland Security, Naval Criminal Investigative Service (NCIS), FBI and Escambia County Sheriff’s Office.

    Kudos to all involved in catching this dirtbag. I have to ask though, why was NCIS, FBI, Dept. Homeland Security involved? Is this guy military? Just curious, it seems like a lot of people have their hands in this and makes me wonder if there isn’t more to it.

    I would love to know what makes some people this way. They (whoever) should do research on this – they do research on everything else.
