ORLANDO, Florida
– Investigators with The Florida Department of Law Enforcement Orlando
Regional Operations Center say dozens of young females may have been
victimized by Justin Slavinski, 32.
FDLE’s Cyber Crime Task Force
arrested Slavinski Thursday after receiving information from the
Georgetown County Sheriff’s Office in South Carolina regarding active
warrants.
The
South Carolina warrants were for soliciting a minor via the internet to
engage in sexual activity, transmission of materials harmful to a minor
and lewd and lascivious behavior.
Agents subsequently executed a search
warrant at 1360 Ravida Woods Drive, Apopka, Fla. A preliminary
forensic examination of Slavinski’s computer revealed numerous
photographs depicting child pornography.
Agents
have developed information that Slavinski has been in contact with as
many as 40 young females throughout Florida over the internet. FDLE is
conducting an investigation to see if any of these girls are the victims
of a crime. Additional charges are anticipated.
“Cases
of this nature are always disturbing, but I find this one particularly
heinous,” said FDLE Commissioner Gerald Bailey. “I urge anyone with
information about this investigation to contact FDLE Orlando Regional
Operations Center.”
Slavinski was booked into the Lake County Jail where he is awaiting extradition to South Carolina.
