AVON MAN ARRESTED FOR SEX CRIME

Avon Police have arrested a 47-year-old man for soliciting sex online from what he believed to be a 15-year-old female. The female was in fact an undercover Officer with the Avon Police Department. The investigation spanned nearly a month during which several conversations were made online. The investigation came to an end when the Police were able to identify the suspect through the online service that was used.

Police arrested Neil S. Rubin of Avon and he has been charged with Importuning (Felony 5) and Possession of Criminal Tools (Felony 5). Rubin posted a $5,000.00 bond and will appear in Avon Lake Court for arraignment on Tuesday, July 3rd.

This is Avon’s 1st online predator arrest and Officer Miller’s 23rd overall since he began the program in March of 2005.
