Gang of alleged sexual predators indicted on charges of having sex with a Clermont County girl

GOSHEN TWP, Ohio - Police say a gang of sexual predators allegedly took advantage of a 14-year-old Clermont County girl.

Fifteen men have been indicted on charges ranging from unlawful sexual contact with a minor to drug charges. Police say up to nine of the men indicted had sexual intercourse with the victim.

The following men have been arrested:

- Corey Braden
- Derron Bradley
- Daniel Cochran
- Kenneth Jones
- James Mason
- Dustyn Reaver
- Christian Salvatierra
- Puneet Sandhar
- Haitham Shalash
- Theodore Taylor
- Charles Winterman

The following men remain on the run:

- Willie Slusher
- Kyle Darling
- Scott Hazlett
- Alex Kraft

Men across the country continue to contact the girl for sex, even after authorities took over the social media websites she was using to talk to them, according to police.

The investigation started after Goshen Township police received a call of a runaway girl. The girl was found in Fairfield and police then learned she had been on several social media websites talking to older men about having sex.

The men indicted range in age from 18 to 35. Some of the suspects live out of the area and have yet to be arrested. Police say some of the men would allegedly pick up the victim and take her across state lines to have sex knowing she was 14.

Police say the victim was accessing the Internet through her iPod touch, a device parents might not think their children are using to access the web.

"A lot of parents just take cellphones if the child gets in trouble, thinking that’s OK. Now you're having to take look at iPods, and or computers, because these predators are looking at your children, who are vulnerable, or who are looking for that attention they're not getting somewhere else," said Sgt. Ron Robinson, Goshen Township police.
