TAMPA - A former Auburndale police officer was accused by detectives today of meeting a 15-year-old girl online and soliciting her for sex, the Polk County Sheriff's Office said.
Jerad Moxley, 25, of 340 W. Assembly St., Eagle Lake, was charged with solicitation of a minor via the Internet.
Moxley began communicating with the girl Sunday, sheriff's spokeswoman Donna Wood said. When Moxley went online today he began chatting with someone who he thought was the girl but was actually a detective, Wood said.
It is unclear what Web site was used in Moxley's communications with the girl, Wood said.
Moxley was taken to Polk County Jail where he is being held on $75,000 bail.
