Ohio Man Arrested by Child Predator Unit
HARRISBURG - Agents from the Attorney General's Child Predator Unit have arrested an Ohio man accused of sending nude photos and webcam videos to what he believed was a 14-year old girl. The "girl" was actually an undercover agent who was using the online profile of a young teen.
Attorney General Tom Corbett identified the defendant as Larry Dugan, 62, 561 East Main St., East Palestine, Ohio.
Corbett said that Dugan allegedly used an Internet chat room to approach the undercover agent, asking the girl for photos. During their first online chat Dugan allegedly provided the girl with his telephone number, asking her to call him or text him.
According to the criminal complaint, as the chats progressed Dugan began to engage in sexual questioning which became more vulgar and persistent. Additionally, Dugan allegedly proposed meeting the girl for sex - suggesting that he could travel to her hometown and that she should wear shorts and a tank top when they met.
Dugan was taken into custody June 11th in New Castle, Lawrence County, and preliminarily arraigned in before New Castle Magisterial District Judge Melissa Amodie. He is being held in the Lawrence County Correctional Facility on $100,000 straight bail.
