The crimes took place June 6, 2026, at Central Park in Ormond Beach, according to a Volusia Sheriff’s Office press release. Alo picked up the victims — ages 13 and 15 — purchased alcohol for them, and had sex with them in his vehicle, the release said.
One of the victims met Alo a few weeks earlier at a local hangout spot in Daytona Beach known as the “White Fence.” The two stayed in contact through Instagram and Snapchat, according to the Sheriff’s Office.

Prior Conviction
Alo has faced similar charges before. The Ormond Beach Police Department previously arrested him, and he was convicted of lewd and lascivious molestation and traveling to seduce a minor in a case involving a 12-year-old. He was sentenced to two years in prison.

Alo is charged with:
- Two counts of lewd and lascivious battery
- Two counts of child abuse
- Violation of probation
