A registered sex offender from Plantation was arrested Sunday, police said, after he traveled to Fort Lauderdale to meet someone he thought was a 15-year-old girl he'd met online.
It actually was an undercover officer.
David Forget, 27, was charged with traveling to meet a minor to accomplish a sex act and using a computer to solicit a child for sex. He's being held at the Broward Main Jail in lieu of $250,000 bond.
Forget told the undercover Fort Lauderdale police detective to meet him at a specific location, authorities said. Thinking he was talking with a young girl, he told the officer to wear provocative clothing, police said.Authorities ask anyone who may have information about this case to call Detective Robert Mauro, 954-828-6871, or Crime Stoppers, anonymously, at 954-493-8477.
Forget was arrested by Fort Lauderdale police on similar charges in 2003. He was convicted and added to the Florida sex offender list in 2004, according to state records.
