It happened Sunday at a home in Oakland Park.
According to authorities, the victim’s stepfather told police he arrived home early Sunday afternoon to find an unknown vehicle parked in his driveway.
The man told deputies that he went to his stepson’s room, finding the door closed and locked. After knocking, the victim opened the door and pulled up his boxer shorts while the suspect, identified as Milton Jose Rodriguez, was completely naked, authorities said.
Deputies said Rodriguez told the stepfather that he met the victim on Grinder and that his profile had stated he was 19 years old, not 16.
The victim told deputies he did post a fake age, and that he had agreed for Rodriguez to come to his home, after which Rodriguez offered him $50 in exchange for sex.
After initially agreeing, deputies said the victim changed his mind, and that’s when his stepfather arrived home.
Deputies arrested Rodriguez on a charge of obscene communication/traveling to meet a minor after luring them using a computer.
