In a move reminiscent of the television show “To Catch A Predator,” an Oklahoma mom outwitted a suspected pedophile by posing online as her 11-year-old daughter.
Police say the accused, Rafael Reyes, emailed the girl sexual messages. However, the recipient was actually her mother.
The parental sting operation may be a first for the city. “I’m not aware of this occurring before, but I would not say that it has not,” Tulsa Police spokesman Leland Ashley told The Huffington Post.
According to the police report obtained by HuffPost, Reyes, 47, was arrested for lewd proposal to a minor and lewd molestation of a minor. (The girl told her mother that Reyes, who had previously lived with their family, molested her and drank her urine when she was 4, the report said.)
