Texas Insider Report: AUSTINTexas Texas Attorney General Ken Paxton today announced the arrest of six suspected child predators following a joint sting operation between the Attorney Generals Child Exploitation Unit and the Copperas Cove Police Department.
Six individuals have been arrested and no longer pose a threat to the children of Texas said Texas Attorney General Ken Paxton. I am grateful for the individuals working in our Child Exploitation Unit and the dedicated law enforcement officials they work with to bring individuals like these to justice.
The sting operation targeted child predators who utilize the Internet to sexually solicit and then travel with the intent of committing sex crimes against a minor.
The following individuals were arrested when they arrived at a predetermined meeting location in Copperas Cove to engage in sexual conduct with a child:
- Robert Lee Biddinger 36 of Killeen;
- Jonathan Fitch Douglass 31 of Killeen;
- Daniel Jeronimo 29 of Killeen;
- Nathan Arthur Kaufman 27 of College Station;
- Brock Alan Monson 22 of China Spring; and
- Juan Neftly Torres-Cortes 30 of Killeen.
The Texas Attorney Generals Office works to protect children by taking child predators off the Internet and into jail proactively seeking out and arresting predators who commit crimes against children using technology and the Internet. They utilize the latest technology to track down some of the most profoundly evil predators on the Internet.
Attorney General Paxton urges all parents and teachers to realize the risks our children face online and take steps to help ensure their childrens safety. For more information on cyber safety please visit:
