Wethersfield Woman Charged with Sexually Coercing Minor She Met Online

David X. Sullivan, United States Attorney for the District of Connecticut, and P.J. O'Brien, Special Agent in Charge of the New Haven Division of the FBI, announced that AMILY COLON, 31, of Wethersfield, was arrested today on a federal criminal complaint charging her offenses related to her alleged sexual coercion of a minor she met online.

As alleged in court documents, Colon, who identified herself as "Alice," initiated an online relationship with a 13-year-old boy in New York (the "minor victim"). Communicating primarily through the Discord app, the conversations became sexually explicit, and Colon coerced the minor victim to send her a sexually explicit video of himself. In turn, Colon sent sexually explicit images and videos of herself to the minor victim. On June 26, 2026, Colon traveled to Long Island, picked up the minor victim, brought him to her residence in Wethersfield, and attempted to engage in sexual activity. Colon drove the minor victim back to Long Island the next day, dropping him off a few blocks away from his home.

The criminal complaint charges Colon with attempted coercion and enticement of a minor, and with transportation of a minor to engage in sexual activity. Each offense carries a mandatory minimum of 10 years imprisonment and a maximum of life.

Colon appeared today before U.S. Magistrate Judge Thomas O. Farrish in Hartford and was ordered detained.

U.S. Attorney Sullivan stressed that a criminal complaint is only a charge and is not evidence of guilt. Charges are only allegations, and a defendant is presumed innocent unless and until proven guilty beyond a reasonable doubt.

This investigation is being conducted by the FBI New Haven Child Exploitation Task Force, the FBI's Long Island Child Exploitation and Human Trafficking Task Force, and the Suffolk County (N.Y.) Police Department, with the assistance of the Wethersfield Police Department. The case is being prosecuted by Assistant U.S. Attorneys Alexis L. Beyerlein and Nancy V. Gifford.

U.S. Attorney Sullivan thanked the U.S. Attorney's Office for the Eastern District of New York for its assistance in the investigation and prosecution of this matter.

This prosecution is part of the U.S. Department of Justice's Project Safe Childhood Initiative, which is aimed at protecting children from sexual abuse and exploitation. For more information about Project Safe Childhood, please visit https://www.justice.gov/psc.
