NASSAU COUNTY, FLORIDA, Fla. — A 32-year-old naval petty officer was arrested last Friday after he allegedly sent sexual photos to an undercover Nassau County Sheriff's Officer, who he believed to be a 14-year-old girl.
Diego Arnulfo Alva was one of eleven men arrested during a four-day undercover operation called Operation Keystroke, which began in August 2022.
Police said Alva did not try to meet up with the undercover agent. However, they say he was repeatedly reminded that the person he was messaging was 14-years-old and he continued to communicate with the undercover agent. He allegedly said he wanted to have sex with the 14-year-old multiple times.
Alva is charged with use of computer to solicit lure children, transmission of material harmful to minors by electronic means, and misuse of a two-way communications device. He is currently being held on a $200,000 bond.
