Man Arrested For Felony Sexual Exploitation of a Child

Dubuque Police arrested 24 year old Gustavo Huerta Sunday on a warrant charging sexual exploitation of a child and enticing away a child, both felony counts. A mother reported to police late last year that she found sexually explicit conversations on her daughter’s smartphone between Huerta and her daughter. Reports say the conversations alluded to sex and included explicit photographs. Investigators submitted a search warrant to Facebook, requesting communications and messages between Huerta and the girl. Investigators received the requested information on January 28th and began reviewing the material. Huerta admitted that he met with the girl three times but denied any sexual activity.
