MARION– A Martin County man, 28-year-old Isaiah Frye of Loogootee, is one of five individuals arrested in a child solicitation sting operation conducted in Grant County.
Also arrested were:
- Johnathon Sasser, 42, of Anderson, IN
- Joshua Stephen Keck, 39, of Frankton, IN
- Teddy Lunceford, 38, of Elkhart, IN
- Raul Escribano, 35, of Marion, IN
Authorities stated that Frye was taken into custody after allegedly attempting to meet someone he believed to be a 13-year-old girl. The sting was a collaborative effort involving the Grant County Sheriff’s Office, Marion Police, and Predator Catchers Inc., a civilian organization dedicated to reporting suspected online predators.
Police reported that Frye and the other suspects traveled to a predetermined meeting location where they were subsequently arrested. The Grant County Prosecutor has filed charges against all five individuals.
Those facing criminal charges are considered innocent until proven guilty through due legal proceedings. Accusations alone do not imply guilt; the judicial system will evaluate the presented evidence to reach a verdict.
