Adult Male Arrested for Soliciting Sex Over the Internet with a Female Minor

For Immediate Release: Thursday, November 10, 2016

On November 1, 2016, Montgomery County Police Vice and Intelligence officers were reviewing postings under the “Casual Encounters” section of Craigslist and began an online correspondence with an individual who posted as “Oscar” looking for “a local young lady.”

A female officer, acting in an undercover capacity as a 15-year-old female, responded to the posting. She received a response from "Oscar" and furthered the conversation by acknowledging that she was just 15 years old. The suspect, while concerned about her age, continued email and text communication and eventually asked when they could meet in person. He wrote that he would like to have sex with her on a regular basis, and would pay her $100 each time it occurred. Through further investigation, detectives were able to confirm his true identity and obtain a photograph of him.

After exchanging several emails, a meeting was arranged on November 8 at the Rockville Metro Station. The suspect arrived at the Rockville Metro Station for the scheduled meeting to pick up the girl. He was arrested and taken into custody without incident.

Asil M. Din, age 44, of the 13000 block of Dovedale Way in Germantown, was charged with sexual solicitation of a minor. He was released after payment of a $10,000 bond.

Din is an Amateur Athletic Association (AAU) youth boys basketball coach. If anyone has concerns about Din’s inappropriate association with a minor, contact Vice and Intelligence detectives at 240-773-5958.
