Karl Alexander Streets was in court on Friday, Aug. 28, and pleaded to two counts of sexual exploitation of a minor and solicitation of sexual conduct. He had been indicted on 10 counts of sexual exploitation of a minor.
The 37-year-old Streets will be held without bond until sentencing, which has been scheduled for 9 a.m. Oct. 15.
Streets was arrested on April 20, 2026, following a year-long investigation.
According to the interim complaint, a detective with the Tucson Police Department was working undercover in 2024 and posted “Daddy daughter date (6)” on the online app Whisper.
She received a response from Streets, and they moved to a different platform.
Streets and the undercover detective arranged to meet, and he agreed to pay the woman to rape a small child. Two dates were arranged, but Streets cancelled last-minute both times.
Two of Streets’ cell phones were seized, and they contained graphic images of child sex abuse, so another search warrant was approved. Thousands of additional images and videos were found.
At the time of Streets’ arrest, 13 News reached out to Davis-Monthan for a comment.
