A Tulsa man has been arrested in Jenks after allegedly having oral sex with a 14-year-old boy and failing to disclose to the teen that he was infected with a sexually transmitted disease.

Police were called to a Jenks home after the teen's parents allegedly found a message on their son's phone asking if the boy was awake and available to meet for sex. When the parents realized the man who sent the text was parked outside their home, they called police.

When law enforcement arrived, they discovered Johnathan Leon Solomon, 40, parked in front of the house, allegedly waiting for the teen to come outside. They say they also recovered numerous explicit text messages from the man to the teen. 

Solomon was arrested on complaints of attempted lewd molestation and soliciting sexual conduct with a minor by use of a telecommunication device. When he allegedly admitted after his arrest that he was taking prescription medication for treatment of a sexually transmitted disease, police added a complaint of spreading an infectious disease. He is held in the Tulsa County Jail on $65,000 bond.

Investigators say the minor acknowledged that the suspect had performed oral sex on him late last month, and said that he did not know that the man had been diagnosed with an STD.

Police say the investigation is ongoing, and they expect there will be additional charges related to the case. They are concerned that there may be additional victims.

Spreading an infectious disease--defined by 21 O.S. § 1192 as smallpox, syphilis, or gonorrhea--is a felony punishable by 2 to 5 years in prison.

Soliciting sexual conduct or communication with a minor by use of technology (21 O.S. § 1040.13a) is punishable by a maximum of 10 years in prison.

Attempted lewd molestation is subject to the same penalties as lewd or indecent proposals or acts to a child under 16 (21 O.S. § 1123). Under this law, sexual conduct or proposals involving a minor under 16 is punishable by a maximum of 20 years in prison if the minor is over the age of 12, or by 25 years to life in prison if the minor is under the age of 12.

If police find sufficient evidence that the suspect and the boy engaged in oral sex, the man will likely be additionally charged with forcible sodomy (21 O.S. § 888), punishable by a maximum of 20 years in prison.

Both lewd molestation and forcible sodomy are Level 3 sex crimes requiring lifetime sex offender registration for those convicted.
