An Oklahoma doctor was arrested at Dallas-Fort Worth Airport this week after authorities say he traveled to Florida to have sex with a 15-year-old girl, police said.

Angelo Francisco Trigoso-Jara, 27, remained in custody this weekend at the Arlington jail.

He will be extradited to Florida, where he faces five counts of Lewd of Lascivious Battery on a victim under the age of 16, two counts of lewd or lascivious exhibition using a computer, solicitation of a child via computer to commit an unlawful sexual act and traveling to meet a minor to commit an unlawful sexual act, according to the Sarasota County sheriff's department in Florida.

Detectives there began investigating Trigoso-Jara in February, when the victim's mother contacted the department.

The 15-year-old girl told detectives that she met Trigoso-Jara online, according to a news release from the sheriff's department. She told him her age, and he said he was 23.

He then picked her up from her home and took her to a hotel, where they engaged in sexual activity, the news release said. Trigoso-Jara continued to contact the girl through social media and sent her nude photos and videos, authorities said.

Trigoso-Jara is a member of the Oklahoma Academy of Family Physicians, according to the news release.
