8 suspected child sex predators arrested in Henderson, police say
A multi-agency undercover operation targeting suspected child sex predators led to the arrest of eight people over the past two weeks in Henderson, police said Friday.
The Nevada Internet Crimes Against Children joint operation included detectives and agents from the ICAC Task Force and the FBI’s Child Exploitation Task Force, which includes the Metropolitan Police Department, Federal Bureau of Investigation, North Las Vegas and Henderson police departments, Homeland Security Investigations and the Nevada Attorney General’s office, according to a Metro news release.
Those arrested were David Wonnacott-Yahnke, 40; Tom Artiom Alexandrovich, 38; Jose Alberto Perez-Torres, 35; Aniket Brajeshkumar Sadani, 23; James Ramon Reddick, 23; Ramon Manuel Parra Valenzuela, 29; Neal Harrison Creecy, 46; and John Charles Duncan, 49, according to the news release.
They all face felony charges of luring a child with a computer for a sex act and were booked into the Henderson Detention Center with the exception of Duncan, who was booked into the Clark County Detention Center, police said.
Parents are reminded to discuss with their children the dangers of engaging with strangers online. Parents are encouraged to routinely monitor their children’s activity on social media and other online applications to prevent them from becoming victims of a child sex predator.
Police said that anyone who may have been a victim of any of these suspects or who has information was urged to contact Metro’s Internet Crimes Against Children Task Force at 702-828-3111. To remain anonymous, contact Crime Stoppers at 702-385-5555.
