A shocking case has emerged from the Florida Keys, where a sailboat became
the setting for disturbing alleged sexual crimes against children. Monroe County authorities have arrested Eric Cadogan, formerly of the Florida
Keys and recently of La Crosse, Wisconsin, on a litany of felony charges
that include incest, sexual assault on a minor, child cruelty, and lewd
and lascivious behavior on a child. Reports from the Miami Herald indicate that Cadogan lived on the boat in Marathon with his wife and five
children, where he reportedly molested and filmed the children.

Cadogan has already been sentenced to 20 years in federal prison last
month on separate charges of distributing child pornography. He was apprehended after authorities, during a sting operation, identified him attempting to sell explicit images of children. He inadvertently made
contact with an undercover agent over a messaging app. Now, additional allegations have been brought to light with Monroe County Sheriff's
Office, the FBI, and Office of the State Attorney working together to
uncover these heinous acts. According to a NBC Miami report, the
investigation was sparked after these authorities delved deeper into the suspect's background following his previous conviction.

Cadogan's wife, Kia Lynn Cadogan, is also embroiled in the scandal, facing severe allegations herself. She was arrested and charged with multiple
counts of aggravated child abuse and an accusation of child sexual
battery. Her case is yet to be resolved and she remains in jail on a
$550,000 bond. Monroe County Sheriff Rick Ramsay made his stance clear: "Myself, and the men and women of the SheriffAs Office are committed to protecting the most vulnerable among us u our children," as he was quoted
by the Miami Herald.

The investigation revealed details of multiple instances where Eric
Cadogan allegedly raped and coerced children to engage in sexual acts, capturing these crimes on his cell phone. The Monroe County Sheriff's
Office took swift action to ensure the safety of the children involved and secured Eric Cadogan under arrest with a bond set at $2.2 million. The chilling and heartbreaking reality of these accusations has led to the children being taken into custody by the Florida Department of Children
and Families, a necessary step to begin to afford them some measure of protection from further harm.

Ramsay did not mince words when addressing the role of Kia Cadogen in the abuse, outright rejecting her claims of coercion and labelling her
"equally a co-conspirator" in the horrific crimes, as he conveyed to the
Miami Herald.
