On August 25, 2026, the Bensalem Township Police Department obtained an arrest warrant for Jose Adolfo Samayoa-Ortiz, a 51-year-old resident of Plainfield, New Jersey, on multiple counts of unlawful contact with a minor, sexual abuse of a child, and other related offenses.
The investigation revealed that in November 2025, Samayoa-Ortiz began communicating with a 13-year-old female through a dating/social media application. Despite knowing the juvenile’s age, Samayoa-Ortiz quickly directed the conversations toward romantic and sexually explicit topics, expressing his desire to engage in sexual intercourse with her.
Over the following several months, Samayoa-Ortiz sent the juvenile sexually explicit photographs of himself and requested that she provide photographs in return.
Prior to a planned meeting with the juvenile, Samayoa-Ortiz was arrested by the Mercer County Prosecutor’s Office in New Jersey in connection with a similar investigation in their jurisdiction. As a result of that investigation, he was charged with Endangering the Welfare of a Child.
Following his release on bail in New Jersey, Samayoa-Ortiz remained wanted on the outstanding Bensalem Township arrest warrant. On November 5, 2026, members of the United States Marshals Service successfully located and apprehended Samayoa-Ortiz.
Samayoa-Ortiz is currently being held in Union County, New Jersey, awaiting extradition to Pennsylvania. He is also subject to a detainer issued by U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE).
