MINOT, N.D. (AP) - Authorities have arrested a 26-year-old Watford City man accused of trying to lure a girl online.
The Ward County Sheriff’s Department says an investigator assigned to the Internet Crimes Against Children unit started an online conversation Tuesday with a man who said he wanted to meet a 16-year-old girl. The deputy posed as a 16-year-old girl and agreed to the online conversation.
Authorities say the conversation led to the defendant allegedly distributing pornographic information to what he thought was a 16-year-old girl.
