FDLE Arrests Santa Rosa County Man For Online Sexual Solicitation Of A Minor
October 1, 2026
A Santa Rosa County man faces multiple felony charges following an online undercover operation conducted by state authorities.
Kenneth Daughtery, 64, was booked into the Santa Rosa County Jail without bond, charged with one count of online sexual solicitation of a minor, one count of promoting the sexual performance of a minor, and one count of using a two-way communication device to facilitate a felony.
According to the Florida Department of Law Enforcement, the investigation began in August 2026 when Daughtery initiated communication with two undercover agents posing as an underage girl. Authorities reported that during their interactions, Daughtery solicited the persona to engage in sexual activity and offered monetary compensation in exchange for a video depicting sexual acts.
The operation was conducted under FDLE’s statewide initiative targeting individuals who exploit children or traffic illicit materials online. Officials noted that the investigation remains active.
