Pierre-Ludovic Duclos-Lanier,who is ranked the 610th best player in the world, was held as part of an undercover sting operation in Florida. Police assumed the identity of a 13-year-old using her phone as part of the operation. Duclos-Lanier, 27, met the girl at a tennis club and then started taking her for lessons. A few days later, according to a probable cause affidavit, Duclos-Lanier began texting with the girl, asking her if she was interested in 'hooking up' and about how 'nice looking' and physically fit the two were. The conversation soon turned sexual and he later sent the girl explicit photos of his penis and suggested they meet up for sex. The Quebec-born star agreed to pick up the girl and take her back to his home in Tampa, Florida, where they would have sex. Duclos-Lanier was arrested when he arrived at the pre-arranged location in Bradenton, about 40 miles from his home. Authorities said that he made a full confession during questioning. Duclos-Lanier, who began playing tennis at the age of ten, was once ranked the 212th best player in the world. He turned professional five years ago and plays on the ATP circuit.
