FDLE Arrests Man For Sex Offenses

August 27, 2015

The Florida Department of Law Enforcement, with assistance from the Pensacola State College Police Department, arrested Jorge Rafael Carias, 24, of  Milton, Wednesday on charges of using a computer to solicit a parent or guardian for sex with a child, traveling to meet a child for sex, and transmitting harmful material to a minor.

This case was investigated by members of the North Florida Internet Crimes Against Children Task Force including FDLE, U.S. Department of Homeland Security Investigations, Okaloosa and Walton County Sheriff’s Offices, and Pensacola Police Department.

The investigation began in July when Carias engaged in a series of email and text messages with an undercover officer who Carias believed to be the parent of a 12-year old girl.

During the email and text exchanges, Carias solicited the undercover officer to have sex with the supposed girl in exchange for cash.  He also sent a pornographic photo of himself and sexual messages to the supposed child before traveling to a local motel for the purpose of engaging in sexual activity with a child.

Carias was located  at Pensacola State College and transported to the Escambia County Jail on a $60,000 bond. The case will be prosecuted by the Office of the State Attorney, 1st Judicial Circuit.

    if someone is shopping for children to rape, offering a fake child is better than a real one or letting hin seek elsewhere. Drug addicts WILL sell

    Oh I’m not taking up for the pervert, don’t get me wrong. I just don’t have as much confidence in the cyber crimes task force as it seems most of you have.

    You can’t entrap someone who is not committing the crime. This guy wanted to rape a child. He set about doing it. His bad that it was a cop and not a child.

    Molinoman, how did they “entrap” him into sending pics of himself? No amount of enticement could get me to discuss having sex with a twelve year old or with her parents. You can’t be trapped if you don’t put your head in the noose.

    Claims of entrapment are the last defense of guilty people caught red-handed!

    Sometimes I wonder just how much of this is entrapment. Has anyone looked up how many unsolved cases there are in Escambia county, also Florida as a whole? FDLE and ECSO couldn’t find their hats without a map to the hat rack.
