The Limestone County Sheriff’s Office has reported a significant conviction as part of its ongoing efforts to address child exploitation. Edgar Josue Castro-Juarez, a 29-year-old from Guatemala, was found guilty on multiple charges, which encompass electronic solicitation of a minor, traveling to meet a child for illicit purposes, and first-degree attempted human trafficking. This conviction is a part of a broader initiative that was initiated in February 2024, during which law enforcement officials have apprehended nearly 50 suspects involved in similar offenses. The sentencing for Castro-Juarez is set to take place in January, marking another step in the fight against child exploitation in the community.
