“He remains in police custody at this time.”
The group claims the man had been “sexually communicating with what he believed to be a 14 year old child”.
“He was constantly requesting indecent images of the child & complementing on her appearance,” they added.
“He described to her how he was feeling and wanted her to sexually communicate back with him.”
