WEST PALM BEACH, Fla. (CBS12) — A Colorado dentist is under arrest in a shocking child sex case. Authorities say the dentist flew to West Palm Beach to engage in sexual activity with what he thought was a mother and her daughter, who was just nine years old.
The details of this case are spelled out in a federal criminal complaint. Authorities say when the dentist arrived at Palm Beach International Airport a few days ago to meet a woman and her little girl for sex, they nabbed him and led him away in handcuffs.
"We live in a very sick world now where there are many people out there preying upon our children," said Stuart Kaplan, a criminal defense attorney and former FBI agent.
Kaplan says allegations against Dr. Jason Atha, a dentist from Boulder, Colorado are very disturbing. Federal investigators say for months, Dr. Atha exchanged messages on a mobile messaging application with a woman he thought was the mother of a young girl, saying he wanted to have sex with them.
