The 13-year-old boy only knew him as "Pizza Hut."
That's where 23-year-old Stephen Albertson told the boy he worked when they started talking on the gay dating app, Grindr, according to a Winter Springs police report.
Police said their messages eventually led to boy agreeing to meet Tuesday in Winter Springs. Their meeting then led to Albertson's arrest.
Police said Albertson picked up the boy and drove to a hidden driveway off Tradewinds Road near Moss Road. He parked his vehicle, pulled the boy out and then had sex with him, according to an arrest report.
The boy's parent called police later that day to report the incident and detectives started investigating with the only information they boy had: Albertson's job.
Police went to a nearby Pizza Hut in Casselberry and showed the manager a photo that Albertson allegedly sent the boy.
"The manager immediately identified the male as Stephen Albertson," the police report states.
Officers got his address and went to his home in Casselberry, where Albertson acknowledged to meeting with another male that day, according to police. Albertson showed detectives a photo of the boy on Grindr, and agreed to talk with them.
His statements were redacted from the arrest report.
Albertson is facing charges of sexual battery on a minor and obscene communication with a child, according to police.
He is being held in the John E. Polk Correctional Facility in Sanford on $120,000 bail.
