Man Accused of Targeting Teens Online | Lexington News

A Kentucky man, Raquel Gomez-Lopez, 40, was arrested in Somerset after allegedly trying to meet up with two 14-year-old girls he’d been chatting with online via Facebook—using fake accounts. He reportedly planned to meet one in person on Sept. 7 and discussed sexual activity and giving alcohol to one of them. Authorities caught him mid-plot, and he also had an active warrant. Now facing two Class C felonies—including unlawful procurement of a minor via electronic means and attempted unlawful transaction with a minor—he’s jailed under both state and federal orders due to immigration status. This case underscores the real dangers lurking behind online interactions—and the critical role law enforcement plays in protecting minors.
