The North Haven police worked with federal, state, and local agencies to target adults accused of trying to sexually exploit minors online in a joint operation called "Operation Bad Decisions," which ended Friday, Aug. 28.
Officers arrested Johnathan Parra Gonzales, 24, of West Haven, Mohammadullah Majbor, 42, of New Haven, and Michael Ryans, 35, of Bloomfield. They were charged with commercial sexual abuse of a minor, risk of injury to a minor, enticing a minor, and attempted second-degree sexual assault, police said.
Gonzales arrived for a planned meeting with who he believed to be a child with a firearm, according to police. Officers seized the weapon.
Authorities were holding Gonzales and Majbor on $300,000 bonds. Ryans was released after posting his $300,000 bond, police said.
North Haven detectives carried out the operation with the US Department of Homeland Security, Connecticut State Police, and several other state and local agencies.
