Undercover police operation leads to Colorado man's arrest for lewd acts

An undercover Boynton Beach officer was in an AOL chatroom when approached by a person with the screen name Nbl69, who stated that he was 25 and lived in Colorado, police said Friday morning.
The man thought he was talking to a 15-year-old girl, which was the officer, and committed lewd acts and had a sexually explicit conversation over the Internet.
The man, Neil Bernard Larson, initiated a Web cam session with the officer who he thought was the girl and began to masturbate on the session.
Larson asked the officer for pictures of the girl and to call him.
Larson was eventually arrested by Jefferson County authorities on Thursday and is currently in the Jefferson County Jail in Golden, Colorado. He will eventually be extradited to Palm Beach County.
Larson charges include knowingly and unlawfully utilized a computer service to seduce, solicit or lure a person believed to be a child into sexual action or indecent exposure.
