Mexican Sexual Predator Caught In Florida To Be Deported
DEFUNIAK SPRINGS, Fla. -- A 48-year-old Mexican
national convicted of indecency with a 8-year-old girl arrested in the Florida
Panhandle by federal officials will be deported.
U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement officers arrested Lorenzo Alfredo
Macias was arrested Tuesday. He will be held in the Clay County Jail until he
can be deported.
He was convicted in El Paso, Texas on Sept. 17, 1986. At the time he was legally
in the United States, but his criminal conviction made him eligible for
deportation. He entered administrative removal proceedings on June 21, 2002,
after violating his probation with the state and was ordered deported one year
later.
"Any crime against a child is appalling, especially one that is sexual in
nature," said Michael Rozos, field of director for detention and removal in
Florida. "This monster will not terrorize our community any longer."
Macias' arrest is part of a nationwide initiative known as Operation Predator,
which tracks down sexual offenders, including those who travel across continents
to have sex with minors. Internet child pornographers and criminal alien sex
offenders and child traffickers are also a priority for the initiative, which
has arrested more than 5,730 people since July 2003.
Suspected child sexual exploitation or missing children may be reported to the
National Center for Missing & Exploited Children, an Operation Predator partner,
at (800) 843-5678 or by visiting CyberTipLine.com.
