Jordan Franklin Trexler, Enticement of a Minor, Florida 2025

A 30-year-old Casselberry man has been sentenced to life in prison for his heinous crimes against a minor.

Jordan Franklin Trexler was found guilty by a federal jury on December 11, 2024, for enticing a minor to engage in sexual activity and producing child sexual abuse material.

According to testimony and evidence presented at trial, Trexler groomed a minor victim to engage in sexual activity when she was just 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.

The 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.

Trexler's crimes are a stark reminder of the dangers of online predators and the importance of vigilance in protecting our children. This case is a testament to the dedication and hard work of law enforcement agencies and prosecutors who work tirelessly to bring perpetrators to justice.

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 is a significant victory in the fight against child predators.
