In a video circulating on social media, the visibly terrified suspect can be heard saying “My darling” to the security agents as they confronted him at the arranged meeting location.
According to reports, authorities had been monitoring the suspect’s online communications with the minor. The man, who reportedly works with the elderly and claims to be legally residing in the country, admitted to security agents that he has been communicating with minors for approximately three months.
If found guilty of the alleged offense, the suspect could face severe legal consequences ranging from 10 years to life imprisonment under laws protecting minors from sexual exploitation.
The identity of the suspect has not been disclosed by authorities as investigations continue.
