Unbeknownst to the defendant the online account he was chatting with was run by an undercover detective from the Camden County Prosecutor’s Office High Tech Crimes Unit posing as a teenage girl. Gustavo Sosa made plans through text to meet with the alleged teenager in Pennasauken, New Jersey, planning to pay her in exchange for sexual activities. The next day Gustavo Sosa was located and arrested at the predetermined meeting location by officers from the Cherry Hill Police Department Tactical Response Team and Camden County Prosecutor’s Office.
