Alabama Woman Arrested for Soliciting Child for Sex in Florida
In a disturbing case crossing state lines, Tracey Heinfield from Leeds, Alabama, has been arrested in Walton County, Florida, on charges of soliciting a child for sexual purposes. The 42-year-old allegedly drove to Florida with the intent to intoxicate a teenage friend of her son and engage in sexual activity with him.
The incident came to light after reports surfaced of Heinfield's actions, leading to her arrest on charges including cyber-stalking and tampering with evidence. Authorities in Walton County, working closely with Jefferson County in Alabama, were able to apprehend her after the alleged attempt in March 2025.
This case has sparked a broader discussion on child safety and the measures needed to protect minors from predatory behavior. Heinfield is currently held in Walton County, awaiting further legal proceedings. The community and law enforcement agencies are urging parents to remain vigilant and educate their children about the dangers of such predators.
