The Limestone County Sheriff’s Office has announced the arrest of 52-year-old Hayel Hasson from Hoover, Alabama, on multiple serious charges, including electronic solicitation of a minor, traveling to engage in unlawful sexual activity with a child, and first-degree human trafficking. The arrest followed an investigation in which Hasson initiated communication with someone he believed to be a young male. However, the individual he was conversing with was actually a sheriff’s investigator posing as a juvenile.
During their interactions, Hasson allegedly offered to provide cash in exchange for sexual contact and subsequently made the decision to travel to Limestone County to meet the supposed minor. Upon his arrival at the predetermined location, law enforcement officials apprehended him without any resistance. The case highlights ongoing efforts by authorities to combat child exploitation and ensure the safety of minors in the community.
