LAKE COUNTY, Fla. -- Investigators say a father traveled more than 1,000 miles to Lake County to have sex with a seven-year-old girl and her mother, but it all turned out to be part of an Internet sex sting.
The suspect was being held in the Lake County jail Wednesday morning.
The man oversees a Hebrew school for young children and he's on the board of directors for a youth soccer league in Connecticut where he lives. Detectives said he confessed to everything before they brought him to the jail.
Lake County sheriff's detectives said 43-year-old Leonard Shuster caught a flight from Connecticut to Orlando International Airport. A deputy was waiting for him there and followed him as he made his way to Clermont.
Just before Shuster reached the home where he thought he was meeting a 32-year-old mother and her seven-year-old child, he was pulled over and arrested.
Detectives said they had conversations with him on the Internet over a three-month period. They said he also sent them pictures of his family.
"From day one, the talk was exactly to what he wanted. It would not surprise me if he's actually done this before," said Det. Chris Loyko of the Lake County Sheriff's Office.
Detectives said Shuster had most of the conversations with the undercover sex crimes unit on his computer at work.
