A sting operation led to the arrest of a child predator in Petersburg yesterday.
Petersburg police officers deploy decoys acting as young children on social media sites to catch these predators.
A male subject recently contacted one of these decoys by a computer network.
After having a sexually explicit conversation with a supposed 13-year-old child, the suspect made plans to meet them.
On Friday, officers arrested 34-year-old Scott D. Kain of Bloomington for Child Solicitation.
