Cops: Man Lured Teen Into Sex Assault on Craigslist

Miami-Dade Police searching for more victims of Internet assaulter

Miami-Dade Police are looking for more victims of a man who they say chatted up a 14-year-old boy on Craigslist, got him to meet him then sexually assaulted him.

Enrique Alard, 26, was arrested in December with sexual battery, lewd and lascivious molestation, use of a computer to solicit a child to commit a sexual act and traveling to meet a minor to commit a sexual act, after police say he carried on a months-long Internet conversation with the underage boy.

Police said the teen first contacted Alard through a Craigslist personal ad he posted in August of last year. The two began to communicate through e-mail, online chats, text messages and phone conversations, according to police.

When Alard finally got the teen to meet him in person on December 1, he forced him to perform fellatio on him, police said.

Alard was arrested shortly after the attack.

Police are asking anyone who has had contact with Alard to call Miami-Dade CrimeStoppers at (305) 471-TIPS or the Miami-Dade Police Department at (305) 4-POLICE.
