This incident was reported to the Naperville Police Department High Technology Crimes Unit by the mother of the 15 year old who discovered the “alarming” solicitations from Molina when looking into her daughter’s cell phone activity, according to the release.

Police say Molina was using the screen name “Michael Leotta” on various cell phone applications such as “Whiplir” and “Kik.” He had several inappropriate texting conversations with the 15-year-old girl and convinced her to meet with him on two occasions. It is alleged that in the second meeting, Molina convinced the 15-year-old girl to come into his vehicle with him where they parked in the parking lot of the theater and sexual conduct occurred.

Molina was interviewed and arrested at his place of work in Oswego. Two search warrants were executed where Molina held residency. The Will County State’s Attorney’s Office charged Molina with one count of aggravated criminal sexual abuse, indecent solicitation of a child and grooming.

The Naperville Police Department High Technology Crimes Unit would like to inform the public that if they have any information about Anthony Molina or the screen name “Michael Leotta” to contact Detective Rich Wistocki of the HTCU at 630-305-5384.
