SEMINOLE COUNTY, Fla. – An Orlando man arrested Tuesday is accused of traveling to Lake Mary to meet a minor for sex, as it was really an undercover law enforcement officer who he had been speaking with and attempting to lure online, according to the Seminole County Sheriff’s Office.
Jerome Udit, 38, made first contact with the undercover officer on April 21 as the LEO assumed the persona of a 14-year-old girl. Following some exchanges of explicit and specific dialogue, Udit reached back out on Tuesday with more of the messages, agreeing to meet the fictional girl at a Lake Mary address.
