GROVELAND, Florida — A man who asked a Florida Department of Law Enforcement agent if he could “just call his mother and return to Guatemala,” and told him sexual activity with younger females is legal in his country, according to an arrest affidavit, is behind bars and facing one count of possession of child pornography.
Acting on tips about two Facebook profiles from the National Center for Missing and Exploited Children, an FDLE agent went to a home on Rock Springs Circle in Groveland Tuesday to speak with Lorenzo Domingo-Aguilar.
Domingo-Aguilar, 26, admitted to the agent he had shared pornographic videos, but did not remember if there were juveniles in them and said he had not saved any of the files in his phone. Domingo-Aguilar allowed the agent to search his phone and the agent “immediately” found a file depicting a girl, approximately 12 or 13 years old, in a sexually explicit manner, the affidavit states.
Domingo-Aguilar said he did not remember saving the file and the agent stopped looking through his phone until a search warrant could be obtained, according to the affidavit. Domingo-Aguilar was taken into custody and was transported to the Lake County Jail; the FDLE agent requested he be held on no bond due to a statement he made about leaving the country and the potential of additional charges, pending the outcome of the search warrant, according to the affidavit.
Despite the agent’s request, Domingo-Aguilar is being held on $5,000 bond.
