In 2024, the Anoka County Sheriff’s Office contacted Postal Inspectors to help investigate a Virginia man who was soliciting a Minnesota teen through social media and the mail.

Between November 2023 and February 2024, Raymond Jung Woo Choi, 42, of Centreville, VA, used social media to engage in sexual conversations with a 13–year-old girl. Using the alias “Jason Lee,” he convinced the girl to send explicit photos and videos to him. In return, he mailed gifts to the victim, including vaping devices, underwear, and other items.

After learning about the relationship, the girl’s family contacted the sheriff’s office. Choi, a TSA employee, traveled to Minnesota in February 2024 to meet the victim, but this meeting never took place due to law enforcement intervention.

During the investigation, Postal Inspectors learned the packages were mailed from a kiosk inside the Centreville Post Office, and they identified Raymond Jung Woo Choi as the sender. After obtaining a search warrant, law enforcement found a large number of illegal guns and over 700 images of child sexual abuse inside his home.

Choi was arrested on July 13, 2024, and he pleaded guilty to producing child pornography. He was sentenced to 192 months in prison followed by 20 years of supervised release.
