Six Child Sex Predators Arrested During Undercover Operation
A multi-agency operation targeting child sex predators led to the arrest of six individuals over the last two weeks.
The Nevada Internet Crimes Against Children (ICAC) joint operation included detectives and agents from the ICAC Task Force and the FBI’s Child Exploitation Task Force, to include the Las Vegas Metropolitan Police Department, Federal Bureau of Investigation, North Las Vegas Police Department, Henderson Police Department, Homeland Security Investigations, and the Nevada Attorney General’s office who participated in organizing and conducting the operation in North Las Vegas, NV.
Those arrested were Stevie Bennard Kelly II, 34; Justin James Matamoros, 35; Brandon Michael Jarecki Ayers, 31; Yussell Onofre Gallardo, 38; Jeffrey Kelly, 51; and Brandon Scott Fletcher, 27. They all face felony charges of Luring a Child with Computer for Sex Act and were booked into the North Las Vegas Detention Center.
We would like to remind parents to discuss with their children the dangers of engaging with strangers online. Parents are encouraged to routinely monitor their children’s activity on social media and other online applications to prevent them from becoming victims of a child sex predator. This operation was conducted as part of the ongoing efforts to reduce violent crime and protect children in our community.
Anyone who may have been a victim of any of these subjects or has information about their crimes is urged to contact the LVMPD Internet Crimes Against Children Task Force by phone at 702-828-3111. To remain anonymous, contact Crime Stoppers by phone at 702-385-5555, or on the internet at www.crimestoppersofnv.com.
