A multi-agency undercover operation in Henderson has resulted in the arrest of eight individuals suspected of being child sex predators. This operation was a collaborative effort involving detectives and agents from the Nevada Internet Crimes Against Children Task Force and the FBI’s Child Exploitation Task Force. Participating agencies included the Metropolitan Police Department, FBI, North Las Vegas and Henderson police departments, Homeland Security Investigations, and the Nevada Attorney General’s office.
The individuals arrested are David Wonnacott-Yahnke, Tom Artiom Alexandrovich, Jose Alberto Perez-Torres, Aniket Brajeshkumar Sadani, James Ramon Reddick, Ramon Manuel Parra Valenzuela, Neal Harrison Creecy, and John Charles Duncan. They face felony charges for using a computer to lure a child for a sex act. All suspects were booked into the Henderson Detention Center, except for Duncan, who was booked into the Clark County Detention Center.
Authorities are urging parents to speak with their children about the risks of interacting with strangers online and to monitor their online activities to protect them from potential harm.
Anyone who may have been a victim or has information regarding these suspects is encouraged to contact Metro’s Internet Crimes Against Children Task Force. Additionally, anonymous tips can be submitted to Crime Stoppers.
