Authorities from Otero County Sheriff’s Department and the Colorado Bureau of Investigation initiated the investigation after a woman in Rocky Ford said she found a photo of a naked man on her daughter’s e-mail account in November.
The mother said she pretended to be her 12-year-old daughter, using the screen name chelseagirl409, and began to chat with Lazcano, who used the screen name Tony805. Police said a photo sent by Tony805 to chelseagirl409 matched photos of Lazcano on his Yahoo profile and his MySpace page.
