Two county residents caught in sting
Two Osceola County men were among many arrested in a Polk County sting
operation Aug. 12-15 that used the classified ads website Craigslist to
solicit sex with 8-to 14-year-old girls.
Fifteen men from across Florida, some with condoms and candy, arrived at
an undercover location after allegedly planning with undercover
detectives to have sex with underage girls. Tommy Lee DuPre, 33, of
3918 Glenwick Drive in St. Cloud, a little league coach, and Javier
Alberto Diaz, 23, of 1939 Fairway Loop Drive in Kissimmee, a materials
handler for Jet Blue Airlines, were both arrested Aug. 13 and charged
with traveling to meet a minor for sex, a Class C felony. Both have
since bonded out of the Polk County Jail.
Nearly all 15 men answered an online ad where the theme was parents
asking for guidance for their underage daughters, all expressed interest
in having sex with an underage girl and some offering to “teach” the
girl to have sex, according to a press release. Some of the men
requested the girl wear specific provocative clothing and others offered
to have sex with both the mother and the daughter at the same time. Upon
arrival at the undercover location, each suspect was arrested.
