An Anchorage man is charged with trying to meet up for sex with a 13-year-old girl, who was really an FBI agent posing as a minor online, according to a charging document. The FBI is looking for any other potential victims Benjamin Roundy might’ve had.
Anchorage resident Benjamin Roundy, 41, who also goes by “Aleks” or “Alekzander Marko,” is charged with attempted solicitation of a minor, possession of child pornography and attempted possession of child pornography.
Federal authorities say they arrested Benjamin Roundy, 41, early Saturday and charged him with solicitation of a minor, possession of child pornography and attempted possession of child pornography. According to the charges, agents began looking at Roundy back in 2018, when they received a tip about someone uploading videos of child porn to a hosting service. But Roundy and his family moved from Eagle River to Anchorage sometime between 2018 and 2020, and “the investigation was suspended in order to prioritize other active matters,” the charges say.
On Thursday, according to the charges, the girl told Roundy the street she supposedly lived on, in Anchorage’s Muldoon neighborhood. The FBI was trailing Roundy, and the charges say they saw him “prowling” the street, apparently trying to find the girl, who had not yet agreed to meet him.
