undercover operation

An undercover operation by the Boynton Beach Police Department resulted in the arrest of 48-year-old Jesse Jacobs, who was allegedly attempting to engage in inappropriate conduct with a minor. The operation involved a detective posing as a 15-year-old on the messaging app 'MeetMe', where Jacobs solicited sexual acts and requested explicit photographs while acknowledging the age of the individual. He suggested meeting at the Nova hotel but later indicated he would pick up the minor and take her to his home. Police arrested Jacobs at his residence, where he admitted to the exchanges but claimed he did not intend to follow through with the meeting. He was charged with soliciting a minor for sexual conduct and unlawful use of a two-way communications device.
