FDLE arrests criminal alien for child sexual exploitation crimes

 
For Immediate Release
February 13, 2025
 
MONTICELLO, Fla. – The Florida Department of Law Enforcement (FDLE) arrested Greyton Rodriguez Rocha, 32, an illegal alien from Nicaragua, on possession of child sexual abuse material and illegal use of a two-way communication device to facilitate a felony. Agents also rescued a young child from the suspect’s residence.
 
This arrest is the result of a combination of FDLE’s statewide initiatives to locate and arrest criminals targeting children, and FDLE’s working partnership with federal, state and local law enforcement to combat illegal immigration.
 
FDLE’s investigation began last week after agents received a request from ICE Homeland Security Investigations (HSI) Tallahassee to assist in the execution of a federal search warrant on Rocha’s residence.
 
On Feb. 12, during the service of the warrant, FDLE agents recovered multiple devices in Rocha’s possession. Forensic examination of the devices is being conducted by law enforcement. Agents also rescued a young child who was living in his residence.
 
FDLE agents arrested Rocha and transported him to the Jefferson County Jail without incident.
 
The U. S. Attorney’s Office, in conjunction with the Office of the State Attorney, Second Judicial Circuit, are evaluating all appropriate charges, as the investigation continues.
 
The case is being investigated by agents with FDLE’s Tallahassee Regional Operations Center and ICE HSI Tallahassee. The Jefferson County Sheriff’s Office also assisted. This case remains active.
