Front Royal Police apprehend Maryland man soliciting underage victims for sexual purposes
On Tuesday, March 29, 2022, Front Royal Police detectives initiated an investigation regarding the solicitation of minors in the Warren County/Front Royal area. Detectives started a proactive approach to apprehend individuals soliciting underage victims for sexual purposes.
An undercover operation ensued, and an adult male began soliciting one of our detectives who he believed to be an underage female for photographs and sexually explicit material. The initial conversation was unsolicited and initiated by the offender in this case. During the investigation, a designated meeting place was arranged, and the male arrived at that location to engage in illicit sexual conduct with the juvenile female. However, Lindgren was met with Front Royal Police detectives instead.
Police identified the suspect as a 26-year-old Maryland resident, Nathan S. Lindgren. Lindgren was arrested on 03/31/2022 and transported to the Rappahannock Shenandoah Warren (RSW) Regional Jail. Lindgren went before the magistrate and was ordered to be held without bond. The court date for the listed offenses has been set for April 21, 2022, at 10:00 a.m. in Warren County Juvenile and Domestic Relations Court.
The Front Royal Police Department is an active member of the Northern Virginia/DC Metro (NOVA/DC) Internet Crimes Against Children (ICAC) Task Force, which is coordinated by the Virginia State Police. We request anyone with information regarding the solicitation or exploitation of a minor to contact Front Royal Police Department. Anyone with further information regarding this case please contact Detective M.R. Ramey at (540) 636-2208 or by email at mramey@frontroyalva.com.
