Craigslist ads soliciting child sex led police to man

A Little Rock man pleaded guilty Friday morning to a federal charge of attempted enticement of a minor, admitting he solicited sex with young children in online conversations.

U.S. District Judge Kristine Baker accepted the guilty plea from David Allan Frazier, 56, who remains in custody until he is sentenced at a later date.

Authorities began investigating Frazier in June after someone complained to the Arkansas State Police that during online conversations with the poster of a Craigslist advertisement, the poster expressed an interest in having sex with a 7-yearold, according to acting U.S. Attorney Patrick Harris.

The poster, who turned out to be Frazier, had encouraged the person who answered his ad to start communicating with him on the Kik application, where he used the name “yplover,” according to Harris.

The Craigslist ad was titled “I Know Your Secret,” and a couple of weeks later, an undercover officer answered an identical ad with the same title on Craigslist, Harris said. Soon, the undercover officer was communicating on the Kik app with the poster of the ad, who again expressed a desire to have sex with a child, Harris said.

The undercover officer played along, saying she had an 8-year-old daughter and wanted to watch the girl have sex with yplover, according to Harris.

He said Frazier requested a photograph of the child and the officer sent a photograph of herself as an 8-year-old. Harris said Frazier responded that the child “was cute and turned him on” and that he thought about printing out the photograph and doing a “tribute.” When asked to describe a “tribute,” Frazier then sent a video of himself masturbating, Harris said.

Frazier had also sent two photographs of himself to the person who reported him to the state police, according to the U.S. Attorney’s office.
