TALLAHASSEE Attorney General Bill McCollum today June 15 that a Pinellas County man has been arrested on charges he used the internet to sexually solicit a Pennsylvania teenager and groomed her to engage in sexual activity online.
Michael John Tyler, 27, of Oldsmar was arrested by the Attorney Generals CyberCrime Unit after receiving a cybertip from Pennsylvania authorities about Tylers alleged criminal activity. The tip was referred to the Pennsylvania authorities after the victim called the National Suicide Hotline.
The danger posed by internet child predators knows no boundaries or geographical limits, McCollum said. In this case, a young child was so destroyed by the abuse, she was considering ending her life hundreds of miles away.
