Asbury Park Man Charged In 'Operation Bad Santa' Of Alleged Online Child Luring

ASBURY PARK, NJ — An Asbury Park man was one of 12 men arrested by the county prosecutor in December, and charged with luring of a child online.

This was the online sting operation County Prosecutor Yolanda Ciccone called “Operation Bad Santa," to catch alleged online underage sex predators.

Raul Angeles, 53, of Asbury Park, was charged with one count of third-degree Criminal Attempt - Endangering Sexual Conduct with a Child.

Twelve men were arrested without incident and charged over the course of six days, Dec. 8 through Dec. 12, and on Dec. 15. The underage “children” the perpetrators were speaking with were, in fact, undercover police officers. The men were arrested when they arrived at an undercover residence, where they expected to find the child, said the prosecutor.
