Casselberry Man Sentenced to Life in Prison for Enticing Minor
Orlando, Florida – In a shocking turn of events, U.S. District Judge Carlos Mendoza handed down a life sentence to Jordan Franklin Trexler (30, Casselberry) for enticement of a minor to engage in sexual activity and two counts of production of child sexual abuse material.
Trexler was found guilty by a federal jury on December 11, 2024.
According to testimony and evidence presented at trial, Trexler groomed a minor victim to engage in sexual activity when she was 14 years old. He reached out to the victim via social media and offered her marijuana. After they met up, Trexler got her heavily intoxicated and then sexually abused her.
Over the course of approximately two weeks, Trexler and the victim exchanged messages on a social media app discussing plans to meet and the type of sexual activity in which Trexler wanted the 14-year-old to engage. They met frequently during that period and during those meetings Trexler repeatedly sexually abused the victim.
On one occasion, Trexler video recorded his sexual abuse of the victim. On another occasion, he produced a sexually explicit image of the victim.
This case was investigated by the Federal Bureau of Investigation, the Oviedo Police Department, the Seminole County Sheriff’s Office, and the Florida Department of Law Enforcement. It was prosecuted by Assistant United States Attorneys Kaley Austin-Aronson and Stephanie McNeff.
This is another case brought as part of Project Safe Childhood, a nationwide initiative launched in May 2006 to combat the growing epidemic of child sexual exploitation and abuse.
Trexler’s sentence serves as a stark reminder of the severe consequences of such heinous crimes. The Grimy Times will continue to follow this case and provide updates as more information becomes available.
