LAUDERHILL, Fla. — A Lauderhill man was arrested on Monday following a monthslong investigation into the online sexual exploitation of at least six children, authorities confirmed.
Lauderhill police identified the suspect as 23-year-old Keysean Mash. They said the investigation was conducted in partnership with the South Florida Internet Crimes Against Children Task Force.
Police said the investigation began in April after the National Center for Missing and Exploited Children received an online tip from Snapchat regarding suspected child sexual abuse material that had been uploaded through a user account.
Investigators said they identified the account as belonging to Mash and executed multiple search warrants and subpoenas during the investigation.
According to police, investigators identified six child victims in multiple states “who had communicated with Mash through social media platforms.”
They said Mash used online applications to engage minors in “sexually explicit conversations, solicit sexually explicit images and videos, transmit material harmful to children and possess child sexual abuse material.”
Jail records show Mash was arrested on 27 felony charges, including 10 counts of possession of child pornography, one count of computer pornography, and four counts each of harmful communication to a minor, transmitting material harmful to a minor by electronic device, lewd or lascivious exhibition using a computer, and solicitation of a child to engage in unlawful sexual conduct.
During a Broward bond court hearing on Tuesday, Mash’s bond was set at $215,000.
A Broward County judge also ordered Mash to remain on house arrest, have no contact with the victims or any children and refrain from using any device with internet access if released.
Police said the investigation remains active.
They said no additional information is being released to protect the privacy of the victims and “preserve the integrity of the investigation.”
Anyone with information on the case is urged to call Broward Crime Stoppers at 954-493-8477.
Local 10 has requested Mash’s arrest report from the Lauderhill Police Department.
