Lauderhill man faces 27 felony charges in child exploitation probe

A Lauderhill man was booked on 27 felony charges after a months-long online child exploitation investigation reached at least six children in multiple states. Lauderhill police identified the suspect as 23-year-old Keysean Mash. The case crossed state lines because the alleged victims lived in different states and communicated with him through social media platforms.

Jail records showed Mash was charged with 10 counts of possession of child pornography, one count of computer pornography, four counts of harmful communication to a minor, four counts of transmitting material harmful to a minor by electronic device, four counts of lewd or lascivious exhibition using a computer and four counts of solicitation of a child to engage in unlawful sexual conduct. The alleged conduct included sexually explicit conversations, requests for sexually explicit images and videos, transmission of material harmful to children and possession of child sexual abuse material.

The investigation began in April 2026 after the National Center for Missing & Exploited Children forwarded a Snapchat-generated CyberTip, and Lauderhill detectives worked the case with the South Florida Internet Crimes Against Children Task Force. Multiple search warrants and subpoenas identified the account as belonging to Mash.

Police withheld victim details to protect the children and preserve the integrity of the investigation.
