How the Sting Operation Worked

According to a post on the Ingham County Sheriff's Office Facebook page, the men engaged with someone they believed was a 15-year-old Michigan girl online. On October 22, 2025, they attempted to set up a meeting with the teen. Fortunately, undercover officers posing as the minor arranged a time. Once the suspects arrived, they were taken into custody.

The Charges and Bond Amounts

Alvi, 30, is being held on a $1 million bond, while Jordan and Brown each have a $75,000 bond. All three men have been charged with Child Sexual Abusive Activity, two counts of Computers-Internet-Communicating with another to commit a crime, and Children-Accosting for Immoral Purposes. The first two charges, if convicted, are 20-year felonies, while the third carries a 4-year sentence.
