Using IP addresses in lieu of chat room decoys, San Francisco police arrested four men on Tuesday during a child pornography sting operation. Homes in the Excelsior, Oceanview, Visitacion Valley and SOMA were all served with search warrants. Four out of six homes resulted in arrests.
Those pinched for allegedly distributing and/or possessing child porn were 25-year-old Alexi Alexis Zhong Wang and Guillermo Escandon-Aguilar, 28, in the 200 block of Russia Avenue, 46-year-old Jaime Rodriguez in the 500 block of Natoma Street, and 28-year-old Juan Martinez on Cielito Drive.
Each suspect has been arrested on felony charges of possession of child pornography. As for the two remaining cases, police will continue to investigate. This is all part of a sting operation that will continue over the next few months.
