Orlando Man Faces Life For Online Child Enticement And Abuse
ORLANDO, Fla. – Theron Charles Lord, a 36-year-old from Orlando, has admitted to enticing a minor for sexual activity and producing child sexual abuse materials.
The gravity of his crimes could see him spending the rest of his life behind bars, with a minimum mandatory sentence of 15 years for production and 10 years for enticement.
Court documents reveal a disturbing pattern of abuse. Lord met the 15-year-old victim online and initiated sexually explicit conversations that continued for months. In April 2022, he escalated the online interaction to physical abuse, driving to meet the victim and engaging in sexual acts.
This pattern of abuse continued for months, with Lord recording videos of the encounters and even coercing the victim to produce child sexual abuse material.
This case was brought to light through the collaborative efforts of Homeland Security Investigations and the Rockledge Police Department. Assistant United States Attorney Kaley Austin-Aronson is leading the prosecution.
