Deputies: Man with toddler arrested in prostitution sting

Posted

GREENACRES, Fla. (AP) - Authorities say a South Florida man had his 2-year-old son with him when he solicited an undercover sheriff's deputy for sex.

The Palm Beach County Sheriff's Office said in a statement that 28-year-old Oscar Vega, of West Palm Beach, was one of 21 men arrested on prostitution charges during a recent sting in Greenacres.

Court records show that Vega was also charged with child neglect for having the toddler with him early Saturday when he was accused of soliciting for sex.

It is unclear whether Vega has an attorney.
