TALLAHASSEE, Fla. (WTXL) - A New Jersey man has been arrested, accused of "sexting" a minor in Tallahassee.
Julio DeJesus, 36, of Jersey City, New Jersey was arrested on Tuesday for solicitation of a minor.
Back in January 2017, a complainant filed a report with police. According to the complainant, a 15-year-old juvenile had been "sexting" with DeJesus.
After catching the minor with a phone and looking through it, the complainant reported opening a messenger application and finding photographs of the minor in undergarments that had been sent to DeJesus.
The minor and DeJesus had been in touch during a recent visit in New Jersey over New Years, according to the probable cause affidavit. But the complainant expressed the belief that no physical or sexual activity took place between the two because of a lack of opportunity.
After an investigation, police confirmed inappropriate photos were sent to DeJesus and found evidence that the minor and DeJesus were communicating on various social media platforms to include Facebook, Instagram and Kik Messenger.
Police also found the two also sent sexually explicit text messages back in forth to each other.
The investigator photographed the messages between the victim and the suspect, including some that told the victim to make sure to delete the messages.
He remains in jail on a $20,000 bond.
