A 24-year-old has been arrested after allegedly trying to solicit a child for sex.
The St. Johns County Sheriff’s Office says Internet Crimes Against Children investigators identified Dakota Lewis, after he started speaking online with an undercover detective. After about two weeks, SJSO says Lewis solicited a meeting for the purpose of sexually abusing a child.
ICAC detectives arrested Lewis today without incident. He’s been booked for solicitation of a child for sex, traveling to meet a minor for sex, and unlawful use of a two-way communication device. He has his first appearance in front of a judge Tuesday.
