An undercover officer posed as a parent offering their kids for sex. They say the sting nabbed a 31-year-old Brandon man.
Ryan Mason allegedly drove to Orlando after chatting with a Florida Dept. of Law Enforcement agent who offered his daughter to Mason for sex in exchange for money. Mason was arrested Thursday.
FDLE says Mason fought off seven agents who tried to arrest him after he drove to Festival Park near the Executive Airport in Orlando. They were able to take Mason in custody. One agent was hurt.

In order to catch Mason, they boxed his car in. Agents say Mason then tried to drive through it and continued to fight once they handcuffed him.
Mason is facing six charges, including one count of soliciting a minor to commit sex acts; one felony count of traveling to meet a minor to engage in sexual activity and resisting arrest with violence. Agents think Mason is mentally unstable and very dangerous because of what he was shouting.
“He was yelling at us to ultimately kill him, multiple times. He just wanted to die today for some reason,” explains Jeffrey Duncan with FDLE.
Duncan says they are going to search Mason’s apartment near Tampa as they continue this investigation.
Duncan says this type of stuff happens everyday and the strength that Mason showed when fighting off their agents means he could have really hurt a kid had they been alone.
