ON 101610 DETECTIVE VICKIE CALLAHAN WITH THE POLK COUNTY SHERIFF'S OFFICE, WHILE ASSISTING IN THIS UNDERCOVER OPERATION, POSTED AN ONLINE ADVERTISEMENT ON THE INTERNET WEB SITE, "CRAIGSLIST.COM". THE ONLINE ADD WAS TITLED, "OPEN MINDED MOM ON VACATION" AND IN THE BODY OF THE ADD STATED"OPEN MINDED SINGLE MOM LOOKING FOR SOMEONE TO SHARE INTIMATE FAMILY FUN". ON 101610 AT APPROXIMATELY 2048 HOURS THE SUSPECT USING THE EMAIL ADDRESS OF SNOWH2021 RESPONDED TO THE ADD AND DESCRIBED HIMSELF AS A 29 YEAR OLD MALE FROM THE PLANTATION RESORT. DET. CALAHAN, POSING AS THE FEMALE PARENT, STATED THAT SHE WAS STAYING CLOSE TO OCALA WITH HER 12 YEAR OLD DAUGHTER LOOKING TO SHARE INTIMATE FUN. THE SUSPECT ADVISED THAT HE DIDN'T HAVE A RENTAL CAR TONIGHT. THE SUSPECT ADVISED DET. CALLAHAN THAT HE WAS INTERESTED, REFERRING TO THE CRAIGSLIST ADD, BUT THAT HE CAN ONLY HOST THE LOCATION SINCE HE WAS AT THE PLANTATION RESORT. DET. CALLAHAN REFUSED TO TAKE HER DAUGHTER TO THE RESORT. THE SUSPECT THEN ASKED IF DET. CALLAHAN CAN COME VISIT THEN GO BACK TO HER RESIDENCE. THE SUSPECT STATED "COME AND GET ME". THE SUSPECT ASKED DET. CALLAHAN FOR PICTURES AT WHICH TIME SHE EMAILED HIM A PICTURE OF A POLK COUNTY SHERIFF'S DEPUTY WHEN SHE WAS YOUNG AND ALLOWED DET. CALLAHAN TO USE IT IN UNDERCOVER INTERNET INVESTIGATIONS. DET. CALLAHAN TOLD THE SUSPECT THAT SHE HAS BEEN TEACHING HER DAUGHTER INTIMATE THINGS AND THAT IT WAS IMPORTANT THAT SHE DID NOT LEARN FROM SOME IDIOT OR SOME STUPID KID. THE SUSPECT REPLIED SAYING THAT HE THOUGHT THAT WAS "HOT" AND STARTED TO MAKE PLANS FOR TOMORROW FOR DET. CALLAHAN TO PICK HIM UP AFTER 1700 HOURS. ON 101710 THE ONLINE CONVERSATIONS CONTINUED AND THE SUSPECT MADE A COMMENT THAT HE WOULD LOVE TO PLEASE THEM BOTH IN SO MANY WAYS, REFERRING TO THE CHILD AND DET. CALLAHAN. ARRANGEMENTS WERE THEN MADE FOR A TAXI TO PICK THE SUSPECT UP AT THE PLANTATION RESORT AND BRING HIM TO THE PREDETERMINED UNDERCOVER RESIDENCE IN CITRUS COUNTY. LATER THIS DATE THE SUSPECT ARRIVED AT THE RESIDENCE AND WAS TAKEN INTO CUSTODY BY OTHER SHERIFF'S OFFICE PERSONNEL.
