July 5, 2018 – Beginning July 3, 2018, detectives from the Washington County Sheriff’s Office Violent Crimes Unit began conducting a child predator sting operation to proactively combat child exploitation. During the mission, detectives posed as a 15-year-old girl and used various social media platforms to communicate with individuals seeking sexual acts with a minor.
Over a two-day period, detectives communicated with a 37-year-old man who engaged in explicit communication and later arranged to meet for sexual contact. The man knew he was corresponding with an individual identifying as 15-years-old.
On July 4, 2018, at 11:20 a.m., detectives arrested the suspect, Abdullah Sevincer of Bethany, when he arrived at a meeting location in the Tanasbourne area. Detectives located evidence in his possession corroborating his intent to engage in sexual contact.
Mr. Sevincer was booked at the Washington County Jail on one count of luring a minor, a felony. The case has been referred for prosecution to the Washington County District Attorney’s Office, a collaborative partner in the ongoing mission to protect victims of sexual exploitation and violence.
