Medina's attorney coordinated his surrender
with the State Attorney's Office, it adds.
Medina was one of 30 men arrested in
Operation Intercept II, which was con-
ducted in February 2013, the release points
out. Medina allegedly drove from Tampa
to Sarasota to have sex with a person he
thought was a 14-year-old girl. "Medina failed
to appear in court and fled the country," the
release notes.
In addition to the 2013 charges for Use of a
Computer to Solicit a Child to Commit Sex
Acts and Traveling to Solicit a Child to Commit
Sex Acts, he is now charged with two counts
of Contempt of Court. Medina was booked
into the Sarasota County Jail, where he is
being held without bond, the release says. %
