Stefon Santos, a 34-year-old registered sex offender, was taken into custody after the Maricopa County Sheriff's Office says it received a tip that he was in contact with a teenager in Indiana, and that he had flown to the state at least twice to have sex with the victim.

Investigators believe Santos' relationship with the teen started when the victim was just 13 years old.

What they're saying:

Santos has a prior conviction for attempted sexual exploitation of a minor and MCSO believe there could be more victims.

"From some of the evidence we received from the search warrants and some things that we're not discussing right now, we feel pretty likely there is going to be other victims, possibly here in Maricopa County," an MCSO spokesperson said during a May 21 news conference. "Right now, we are still working on the cellphone examinations, they're kind of in the beginning stages. So, we'll be looking through chats and conversations and doing some forensic work and analysis to try and identify victims."

Anyone who believes they may have been a victim of Santo is urged to call MCSO at 602-876-1000.
