Texas Crime, Soliciting a Minor Online, 5 People Arrested

Nobody likes hearing about crime going on in the state they live in, but when I hear about Texas law enforcement officers conducting an operation like this, I appreciate the work they are doing.  

Thanks to KETK, we got the details about the Franklin County Sheriff’s Office recently that was working with the Mount Vernon Police Department and various other federal, state, and local law enforcement agencies to conduct an operation to arrest individuals who were soliciting sexual acts with minors using online/social media platforms. 

There were 5 people in total who were arrest, and all were charged with Online Solicitation of a Minor for Sexual Conduct, which is a 2nd Degree Felony. The consequences for a 2nd degree felony charge in Texas if convicted could mean a stay in prison of between 2 and 20 years and a fine of no more than $10,000. Obviously, each of these individuals are innocent until proven guilty in a court of law.
