According to North Port Police, Canul communicated online with an undercover detective posing as a minor on the internet. Canul then traveled from Fort Myers to North Port with the intent to engage in sex acts with the child.

Instead, he was arrested and charged with traveling to meet a minor for sexual acts and using a two-way communication device to facilitate a felony.
