The Houston Metro Internet Crimes Against Children Task Force (ICAC) announced that eight men have been charged with sexually exploiting children online, including a Galveston heart surgeon and a 77-year-old repeat offender.
The multi-day, multi-agency task force went undercover online in August and September to engage individuals seeking sex with children. Posing as minors, law enforcement officials created online personas and visited social media platforms and chat rooms, engaging with the men and arranging in-person meetings. The men were arrested when they showed up, each charged with online solicitation of a minor.
According to information provided by Precinct 1 Constable Alan Rosen’s office, the eight suspects charged are:
