On July 6, 2021, an investigator posed as a 15-year-old girl on an anonymous social media platform and attracted the attention of a 29-year-old man. After the man was aware of the girl’s age he continued to pursue contact. He eventually asked for a home address in La Crosse, WI.

Instead of a 15-year-old girl, he was greeted by officers and the undercover investigator he was actually messaging with.
