DANBURY, Conn. (AP)- Authorities say a 46-year-old Connecticut
man has been arrested after flying to Florida to allegedly meet a
mother and her 7-year-old daughter for sex.
Florida authorities says Leonard Shuster of Danbury has been
arrested on 126 criminal counts. He was arrested after flying into
Orlando, Fla., on Tuesday.
The Lake County Sheriff's office in Florida says detectives had
pretended to be the woman in an Internet chat room with the man
since January.
Shuster remains in police custody pending a court hearing.
Besides 120 counts of transmitting child pornography, he's
facing several sex charges including attempted capital sexual
battery of a person under 12 years old.
Officials say Shuster is married with three children.
