Air Force Captain Accused Of Trying To Have Sex With Teen

ST. LOUIS (KTVI - FOX2now.com) - He's a captain at Scott Air Force Base. But investigators in Tennessee say the actions of 32 year old Felix Tran are hardly honorable. He's accused of trying to set up sex with a 15 year old on-line.

Court documents say the suspect admitted going to Tennessee to have sex with the 15 year old girl even though he was concerned that he was being set up and would be arrested. The documents show Tran met the now 15 year old Tennessee girl some five years ago on-line while playing the fantasy game Everquest II.

We're told Tran and the teen developed a relationship and the conversations eventually turned sexual. Then, the documents say Tran sent the girl a sex toy so it wouldn't hurt when they met to have sex. But the girls mother found it and contacted police. The documents say a law officer assumed the on-line identity of the girl and started communicating with Tran.

The 32 year old was arrested last Friday when he came to Chattanooga to meet who he thought would be the girl at a motel. Area residents call the case upsetting. "These guys are supposed to be protecting us, watching out for our country. And its just, to see someone go after a 15 year old and going to meet this person, its absolutely shocking", said Jim O'Brian from Edwardsville.

We're told Tran has been at Scott since August of 2006 and is a communications officer. Scott officials say Tran works with computers and networks in the air mobility command. A statement from Tony Joyner, the Deputy Director of Public Affairs at Scott, read in part, "A person is innocent until guilty in a court of law. It would be inappropriate to speculate about what happened. We have full confidence in the federal authorities who are handling this case. "

As of Tuesday night, Tran was behind bars in Chattanooga charged with enticement and traveling in interstate commerce to engage in sex with a minor.

Wednesday, there will be a court hearing to determine whether Tran will be given a bond. Officials at Scott say at this point, there is no evidence that Tran contacted any girls on the base.

Our goal is to collect the information needed to conduct a complete and thorough investigation into abduction or missing child cases. The time saved by police in the first few hours could mean the difference between safe recoveries and..well, you get the point.

Naturally, we recommend you keep the information updated and as complete as possible.

Statement from the Amber Child Safety System™ creator,
Tad A. Camp:

 

I created this system to aid Law Enforcement in the recovery of missing and abducted children. I have worked on missing and abducted children cases across the country and have a 100% success rate. This system is based on the information I use to recover these children. The system will prompt you with questions in order to collect the most accurate information possible. We do not, for example, provide you with a blank space and ask you to give us the names and addresses of the people you can think of that has contact with your child. How many people would think to include the information on their child's soccer coach, karate instructor, piano teacher, or best friends new step parent?

I have eliminated all the guess work about your child's relationships. We ask specific questions about the people your child has, or may have contact with in a format designed to help you provide accurate information. I strongly encourage all parents to update the information on a regular basis.
