A Windsor man has been arrested and charged with coercing minors to send explicit content online.
According to court documents, CHRISTOPHER RODRIGUEZ, 31, of Windsor, used social media applications to communicate with two minors in Florida and Pennsylvania.
In October and November 2023, Rodriguez used LiveIn and Discord to communicate with an 11-year-old girl from Florida and coerced her to send him a sexually explicit video of herself.
He then engaged in sexually explicit conversations with a 13-year-old girl from Pennsylvania using Discord and iMessage, coerced her to send him sexually explicit images and videos of herself, and sent the minor female sexually explicit images he claimed were of himself.
Rodriguez appeared before U.S. Magistrate Judge Robert A. Richardson in Hartford and was ordered detained.
The complaint charges Rodriguez with coercion and enticement of a minor, an offense that carries a mandatory minimum term of imprisonment of 10 years and a maximum term of imprisonment of life.
This investigation is being conducted by the FBI’s Child Exploitation Task Force, which includes federal, state, and local law enforcement agencies, with the assistance of the Connecticut State Police.
The case is being prosecuted by Assistant U.S. Attorney Alexis L. Beyerlein.
Christopher Rodriguez, 31, of Windsor, CT, is charged with coercion and enticement of a minor. He was arrested on November 2023 and is currently being held without bail.
