(Manchester, IA) -- A Nevada, Iowa man is the latest to be arrested in an undercover sting targeting online predators.
Manchester Police Chief Ben Davis says 52-year old Michael Wiezorek is accused of grooming and sending illicit messages to who he thought was a 15-year old boy.
Wiezorek was booked Monday after he traveled to Northeast Iowa with plans to meet with the minor, who was actually an undercover police officer.
The suspect has been released on bond.
Chief Davis says the arrest is part of a months-long investigation that has led to the arrest of four others.
He credits Iowa's new grooming law for enabling law enforcement to go after online predators.
