POMPANO BEACH, Fla. – Broward County prosecutors upgraded charges Monday against a 23-year-old Pompano Beach man who was arrested in October after being accused of possessing child sexual abuse images and videos — all while on probation for the exact same crime.
Alexander Moncada was first arrested in 2020 and pleaded no contest in 2022 to charges related to the possession of child sexual abuse material — in upwards of about 1,000 files — receiving a decade of probation and a spot on Florida’s sex offender list.
He was arrested again on Oct. 17 at a home on Northwest Sixth Avenue that he shared with “several other sex offenders,” a Broward Sheriff’s Office arrest report states. A detective wrote in the report that a review of files found on his cellphone showed children as young as 1 “being sexually abused or lewdly displaying their genitals.”
Authorities said he used the chat app Kik to share the files and utilized online handles including “Lucas the Lucario” and “Larry the Skunk Bunny.”
Kik reported the illicit files to deputies over the summer, sparking the investigation, they said.
After his 2020 arrest, court documents state he told Pembroke Pines police detectives to “lock me up” and that doing so “is the only way (I) will learn.”
They state that after his October arrest, he told a crime scene supervisor he had a “relapse” and was “using chat applications to connect with minors and share pictures and videos.”
As of Monday, he was in BSO’s Paul Rein Detention Facility, jail records show. In addition to the upgraded charges — totaling 11 felonies — he was being held without bond, owing to his probation violation.
