Nicholas Penaloca, 43, was on an internet dating app and began chatting with an undercover agent from the Florida Department of Law Enforcement, which is a member of the South Florida Internet Crimes Against Children (ICAC) Task Force. The undercover detective was posing as a 13-year-old girl. When Penaloca learned he was chatting with a 13-year-old girl, he solicited her for sex, requested a sexual photo of her and sent her a sexual photo. On July 25, Penaloca arrived at the apartment complex to meet the minor. He was arrested on charges of solicitation of a minor to engage in sexual conduct, unlawful use of a two-way communication device, transmission of material harmful to minors and traveling to meet a minor. In this case, investigators were able to place a dangerous predator behind bars and proactively protect more children from harm. At Child Rescue Coalition, we collaborate globally with investigators, police officers, and child welfare agencies to rescue children and apprehend abusers in real time.
