A multi-agency effort has led to the arrest of Frederick Delgado, 32, of Key Largo, Florida, in Longview on 15 counts of possession of child sexual abuse material. Delgado's apprehension is part of a statewide initiative by the Florida Department of Law Enforcement (FDLE) to target criminals exploiting children.
The investigation began in March 2025 when FDLE agents received information from the National Center for Missing and Exploited Children (NCMEC) of serious crimes. Delgado used an the Discord platform to share files depicting the sexual abuse of children.
On April 23, FDLE agents and their Special Operations Team, with assistance from Homeland Security Investigations (HSI) and the Monroe County Sheriff’s Office (Monroe being Florida's southernmost county), executed a search warrant in Florida. They seized multiple electronic devices for digital forensic analysis.
Following the search warrant, Delgado reportedly left Monroe County. The investigation revealed that Delgado was living in East Texas in Longview.
On July 9, the Longview Police Department, coordinating with the FDLE and the Gregg County Sheriff's Office, arrested Delgado in the 1400 block of Turner Drive. He was transported to the Gregg County Jail and will be extradited to Monroe County to face the charges.
