Authorities in Florida have arrested 12 suspects who attempted to engage in sexual activity with minors as part of an undercover operation targeting predators.

The Citrus County Sheriff's Office said "Operation Lucky Strike," a tactical undercover Internet Crimes Against Children, was launched to arrest dangerous cyber predators who attempt to have sex with children.

While conducting the operation, law enforcement officials posed as minors on different websites waiting to be solicited through online messages. The suspects, while aware of the child's age, still elected to send sexually explicit pictures, messages and detailed requests of various sexual activities they wanted to perform with the child.

Some of the suspects had driven more than an hour believing they were meeting a minor to engage in sexual activity. But upon their arrival, they were apprehended by law enforcement officials.

**SNIP**

Cristian Gabriel Rosado-Marrero, Devin Michael Cordeiro, Franklin Lezama, Jeff D. Adams, Sean Robert Mooney, Robert Allan Rankin, Mathew Leathers, Glenn Cunningham, James Patrick Lake, Mark Philip Werner Lovric, Alex Anthony Francis and Ralph Joseph Perkins were taken into custody in connection with the operation.

Officials said 11 suspects were arrested for attempting to have sex with minors and Rankin was arrested for possession of a controlled substance and paraphernalia as an accomplice to Mooney for driving him to the meeting location.

The pedophile-nation is much larger and far more powerful than we’re being told.

I thought that sexual activity with minors is the new fad, and perfectly OK.

For the life of me I can’t understand the sexual attraction to children or to ones own sex. Now in my youth I did struggle with lustful attraction to starlets like Raquel Welch. I might not have totally overcome this at 70. But I have never had the slightest attraction for the little ones. Jesus said it was better to have a millstone hung Sround your neck and thrown in the sea.

Yup. Same age.

BTW, I never realized that Frank Zappa’s ‘Brown Shoes Don’t Make It’ was about pedophilia in City Hall. Once you ealize that, the song makes a lot of sense.

A world of secret hungers
Perverting the men who make your laws
Every desire is hidden away
In drawer, in a desk
By a Naughahyde chair
On a rug where they walk and drool
Past the girls in the office

You see in the back of the City Hall mind
The dream of a girl about thirteen
