FORT MYERS, Fla. – Lee County’s Child Exploitation Force works to keep sexual predators away from children.

The predators are often men from all walks of life, said Sgt. Jody Payne. She has been on the force for more than a decade.

Sgt. Payne asks parents to continue monitoring their children’s phones to prevent them from becoming a victim. Her force works with six other law enforcement agencies, including the FBI.
