Deputy Ricky Gonzalez
CASSELBERRY, Fla. -- A Seminole County Sheriff's Office reserve deputy was arrested Thursday night in St. Lucie County on charges of attempting to engage in sex acts with a child, according to a police report.
Ricky Gonzalez, 49, of Casselberry, faces felony charges of solicitation of sexual battery on a child under 12 and promoting sexual performance by a minor under 12 after he met an undercover sheriff's detective who was posing as a man with a young daughter.
The detective began communicating via the Internet with Gonzalez in April, police said.
According to police, Gonzalez said "he wanted to have (the detective's) persona engage in (a sex act) with an 11-year-old child."
Gonzalez admitted to having images of children engaged in sex acts on his computer, according to the police report.
Gonzalez was immediately removed as a deputy upon his arrest.
