Phoenix, Arizona - May 25, 2006 Offender: Francisco P. Santiago-Estrada
On January 27, 2006, Francisco Santiago-Estrada, a 24 year old unemployed married man, was arrested by members of the Arizona Internet Crimes Against Children Task Force and charged with luring a minor for sexual exploitation. The arrest occurred in Phoenix. Santiago-Estrada came to the attention of law enforcement when he used the Internet with the intention of meeing a minor for sex. On his profile page, Santiago-Estrada had listed his true name as "master". He listed his favorite quote as: "You wouldnt know it to look at me, but I have a soul darker than the deepest pits of hell."
During Internet chat conversations, while using the screen name: “dark_true_lord” he made sexually explicit statements including (expletives deleted):
"Looking to have some fun?" "I mean u, me and a bed" "You wanna play yet?" "Like some hot wild sex" "Cuz I love to teach" "We could make out and if you were willing I would lay you down undress you and (expletive) on you for about an hour." "Then I would make love to you as gentle and as long as you like"
After the chat conversations, intent upon meeting a minor for sex, Santiago-Estrada drove from Gilbert, Arizona to Phoenix for the planned meeting. The former marine arrived to meet the minor dressed in a black t-shirt with the words "Department 6f Homeland Security" printed on the front.
He was arrested and confessed to the crime. His unsuspecting wife was surprised by the officers who later appeared at his Gilbert, Arizona residence to serve a search warrant. Santiago-Estrada was booked into the Maricopa County jail and the case was handled by the Maricopa County Attorneys Office. Santiago-Estrada served 116 days in jail before pleading guilty to one count of luring a minor for sexual exploitation. On May 25, 2006 he was sentenced by Judge Warren J. Granville to a suspended sentence and probation. He will serve lifetime probation but is not required to register as a sex offender. If he violates probation he will serve the remainder of the one-year sentence on a work- furlough program. The court ordered that he is not to operate a computer for personal use.
