Texas Woman Charged With Soliciting Minor After Nude Images Sent to 12-Year-Old, Sheriff Says

Deputies say they will alert federal authorities over suspected unlawful presence.

Overview

  • The boy’s parents reported explicit messages to the Jasper County Sheriff’s Office, prompting an investigation.
  • Susanna Mendoza, 26, was arrested around 4:26 p.m. on Nov. 13 in Jasper and booked into the county jail on a felony solicitation charge.
  • Investigators allege she sent nude photos and vulgar texts to entice the child, who has since turned 13.
  • The sheriff’s office says it suspects Mendoza is in the U.S. illegally based on an alleged threat to flee and plans to notify federal officials.
  • The outlet reports JCSO and ICE did not immediately comment, noting DHS recently touted Florida arrests of more than 150 noncitizen sex offenders under Operation Dirtbag.
