Edy Antonio Jr., 30, was arrested for trying to buy two underage girls for sexual acts via an online prostitution site. He negotiated a $500 price, which included a request to forego a condom. Despite the serious nature of the charges, including attempted coercion and enticement of minors, he was released on a $50,000 bond. Prosecutors highlighted that the only reason no physical assault occurred was that the girls were fictional. Antonio claimed he intended to report the alleged trafficking to authorities after communicating with the seller.
"The only thing that stopped the defendant from sexually assaulting two minor girls was the fact that the girls were fictional, as prosecutors noted in their arguments."
"Somebody messaged me trying to sell me kids, right? So I was like, what the hell? I was hoping to get their address to call 911."
