A 17-year-old boy has been arrested on suspicion of posing as a sixth-grader at an elementary school in Texas, where he allegedly tried to recruit child porn victims.
Officials took Ricardo Javid Lugo into custody while he was attending class at Hurst Hills Elementary School, police said. The man he was allegedly working with, 28-year-old Randy Ray Wesson, was arrested at his home in nearby Fort Worth, where authorities said they discovered a large amount of child pornography.
According to Ricardo's arrest affidavit obtained by local NBC affiliate, KXAS-TV, detectives said Wesson told investigators they would find roughly "42,000 child pornography images on his computer, thumb drive, phone and SD cards." Wesson also allegedly admitted to sexually abusing more than 100 children between the ages of 7 and 14.
The arrests shocked school administrators and parents, who questioned how a 17-year-old was able to enroll in an elementary school and go unnoticed as a sixth-grader for roughly three months.
