Boston Admissions Director Charged With Attempted Sex Trafficking of Minor

Jacob Henriques, a former assistant admissions director at Emmanuel College in Boston, has been arrested and charged with attempted sex trafficking of a minor after allegedly using his position to access and solicit underage college applicants for sex. Prosecutors say Henriques obtained personal information of applicants and offered them money, including $400 to a 17-year-old girl, for sexual acts. He reportedly sent explicit videos and images, refused to identify himself, and persisted in contacting victims even after being blocked, including via email. Emmanuel College stated that Henriques was fired following the allegations and has expressed shock and anger over the incident. The college confirmed it contacted law enforcement and began an internal investigation. Authorities said Henriques accessed one victim's profile 47 times over several days.
