Tampa, FL – A months-long investigation has led to the arrest of a 29-year-old registered sexual offender accused of reoffending by communicating inappropriately with children across state lines, according to the Hillsborough County Sheriff’s Office.
Detectives say their Internet Predator Unit began investigating Chandler Reece, 29, after receiving reports that he allegedly sent harmful material to two children in Alabama using Snapchat. Authorities confirmed that Reece is a registered sex offender currently on probation for a previous charge of exposure of sexual organs.
According to the sheriff’s office, investigators executed an arrest at Reece’s home on the 6900 block of West Hillsborough Avenue in Tampa on Thursday, November 13, 2025. He now faces multiple charges, including Use of Computer Services for Lewd or Lascivious Exhibition, Unlawful Use of Two-Way Communications Device, Failure to Register Electronic Mail Addresses or Internet Identifiers, and Out-of-State Transmission of Harmful Material to a Minor.
Officials say Reece’s arrest follows a coordinated investigation between local detectives and out-of-state authorities in Alabama. He is currently being held pending additional legal proceedings.
