EL DORADO COUNTY, Calif. (KTXL) — A California man accused of allowing his 16-year-old daughter to sell nude photos online has been arrested, according to authorities.
In August, the El Dorado County Sheriff’s Office said detectives began investigating a 16-year-old girl who they learned had a very well-known online presence on a variety of social media platforms.
During their investigation, officials said the teen was allegedly selling illegal content online and made about $40,000.
Detectives said the girl’s father was aware of her online activity and the profits made from selling the photos.
On Nov. 15, the sheriff’s office said detectives served a search warrant on the father’s home and he was arrested for a variety of charges including sex trafficking, contributing to the delinquency of a minor and child abuse.
The sheriff’s office said Tuesday that the investigation was ongoing and anyone who has information regarding the case is urged to contact Detective Macres at macresc@edso.org or 530-957-5227.
