Assistant U.S. Attorney Aaron J. Mango, who is handling the case, stated that according to the complaint, on Feb. 14, the defendant began communicating on MeetMe.com, a social networking service, with a 23-year-old woman in Nashville, Tennesee. During the conversation, the two began to discuss Caryl providing the woman with $300 to have sex with her. The woman wrote, “just $300 and u do what u want to me.” The defendant replied, “do you have a young girl who could join I’ll pay more…you into young girls”? The woman responded, “as long as they r 18 and older”, to which Caryl replied, “Ya I meant younger I’ll pay 6000.” The woman replied, “I can’t put things in her mouth she gets sick she’s disabled.” The defendant went on to say, “show me your daughter” and then the woman allegedly sent a picture to the defendant. Caryl continued to press the woman to send naked pictures of her one-year-old daughter.
A MeetMe.com staff member identified the possible endangerment of a minor and illegal content and notified the National Center for Missing and Exploited Children (NCMEC). On February 24, 2017, NCMEC notified the FBI of the content which was traced to an IP address belonging to the defendant. Caryl was arrested this morning.
The defendant made an initial appearance this afternoon before U.S. Magistrate Judge Jeremiah J. McCarthy and was detained pending a detention hearing on Thursday.
