Police say Indiana County man tried to meet with teen girl in Arnold for sex
An Indiana County man was charged with two felonies Wednesday that accuse him of trying to meet up with a 15-year-old girl in Arnold for sex. James Carter Sears, 45, of Old Route 119 in White Township, was charged with two felony counts of unlawful contact with a minor as well as involuntary deviate sexual intercourse and criminal use of a communications facility.
Authorities say he thought he was communicating with her on social media and by telephone (texting) for two weeks. But instead of meeting the girl when he got to the prearranged location, he was greeted by state agents and taken into custody.
A male agent for the state Attorney General’s Child Predator Section had been posing as the girl with whom the man was planning to have sex. Even though no girl existed and there were no sex acts performed, authorities file charges in such cases based on a person’s intent to commit a crime.
Sears told investigators that while driving to meet the girl, he “told himself to turn around several times” but that his “curiosity got the best of him,” according to the complaint.

One would think, a pervert planning to hookup with a 15-year-old girl would shave before the encounter.
He looks like he didn't even bath.
