A Daytona Beach man was arrested in Palm Coast on Sept. 9 after he allegedly traveled into the county to have a sex with a 16-year-old girl.
Alfred Smith, 25, of Daytona Beach, believed he was meeting an underage girl at the Circle K at 1500 Palm Coast Parkway in Palm Coast but was instead met by Flagler County Sheriff’s Office deputies, a FCSO press release said. FCSO deputies were contacted by private individuals who had been messaging Smith on social media while pretending to be the underage girl, according to Smith’s arrest report.
Smith has been charged with traveling to meet/lure a child and unlawful use of a communication device. Additional charges are pending and he is being held at the county jail without bond.
Smith admitted to deputies he believed he was talking to a teenage girl who invited him to Palm Coast to have sex with her, the press release, said and admitted to sending sexually explicit photos. Deputies found an unused condom in his pocket.
Smith was on sex offender probation for a previous lewd or lascivious molestation of a victim under 12, offender under 18 charge, the press release said.
