In a Harris County Online Sex Solicitation Sting, seven men between the ages of 22 and 47 were arrested. These men were caught attempting to travel to Houston to meet girls they thought were between ages 14-16, but were actually undercover investigators.
Most surprising of all of them is the 47 year old Michael Stevens who is the Superintendent of Schools in Itasca, Texas.
According to Precinct One Constable Alan Rosen, Stevens sent lewd photos of himself to the target female and wanted nude photos of her in return. These men wanted to come to Houston to have sex with someone they thought were in their teens.
"These predators were online surfing and looking for children. You must make it a priority to know what your children are doing online," Rosen said. "As you can see by this sting operation, there are dangerous predators out there grooming our children and can cause great harm."
