Man Accused Of Traveling To Greenwich To Have Sex With Child: PD

GREENWICH, CT — A 38-year-old Connecticut man was arrested Thursday after police said he came to Greenwich to have sex with someone he believed was a 13-year-old girl.

Ray Luis Caceres, of Rocky Hill, was arrested on Feb. 17 and charged with criminal attempt at illicit sexual contact with a victim under the age of 16, second-degree criminal attempt at sexual assault, and criminal attempt at enticing a minor by computer.

Caceres was held on a $750,000 bond. According to his arrest report, he's scheduled to appear in court March 4.

Over the past several weeks, the Greenwich Police Department said its Special Victims Section conducted an undercover investigation in which a detective posed as a 13-year-old girl in an online chat room, and befriended Caceres.

"Over the course of the investigation, Caceres began to steer the conversations towards becoming more sexually explicit in nature," police said in Caceres' arrest report. "He also began describing sex acts that he wanted to perform on the '13-year-old girl' in 'real life.'"

Police said Caceres then made plans to meet with the supposed girl in person at a specific location in Greenwich "to carry out these sexual acts."

On Feb. 17, police said Caceres traveled to Greenwich and was arrested without incident. The arrest report lists Forest Avenue in Old Greenwich as the arrest location.
