The Arapahoe County Sheriff’s Office requested the community’s assistance in locating additional potential victims of a convicted sex offender.
Deputies claimed the suspect, Holland Langhorn-Padilla, 32, tried to sexually exploit and seduce a 12-year-old girl by harassing her online. They claimed the girl obtained his phone information from two of her pals, whom he was messaging over Snapchat.
According to deputies, Langhorn-Padilla attempted to get the girl to meet with him in order to trade vapes and booze for sexual services.
Deputies claimed he used the Snapchat usernames “noise666” and “n666iser” and the phone number 720-666-1646.
During an investigation, deputies discovered that he was sexually exploiting youngsters and had child sexual abuse materials.

Deputies stated that he is in detention for sexual exploitation of a child, internet sexual exploitation of a child, internet luring of a kid, possession of sexually exploitative material, and habitual sex offender against minors. They claimed he was jailed at the Arapahoe County Detention Facility on a $150,000 bond.
