A search warrant at Sonet's home revealed he had multiple videos of children – some victims as young as 1 year – being sexually abused. Investigators also say they found hundreds of media files in various apps on his cellphone.
Sonet engaged in multiple chats saying he wanted to "adopt a 'little girl for his sexual desires,'" an arrest warrant read. He also allegedly said he wished to impregnate who be believed was a 13-year-old girl.
Sonet remained booked in Miami-Dade jail as of Friday afternoon. His bond was set to $35,000.
