Three Williamson County Men Busted For Solicitation Of Minors

WILLIAMSON COUNTY, TX — Three Williamson County men were recently arrested for online solicitation of a minor as part of an online operation, officials said.

The attorney general's Child Exploitation Unit (CEU) said the three men arrested last week have been charged with a second-degree felony and booked into the Williamson County Jail without incident. The men have since been identified as Samuel David Kelly, Shane Michael Perry and Joshua Logan Dean.

In a media advisory, the AG's office said the men are alleged to have sexually solicited investigators posing as children online. Each was arrested after arriving at a predetermined location expecting to meet and engage in sexual activity with a child, officials said.

The AG's office took the opportunity to urge all parents and teachers to be aware of the risks children face via their Internet usage, and take step to ensure their safety. For more information on cyber safety, click here.
