A sting operation to find child predators in Petersburg led to the arrest of 19-year-old on Wednesday.
Petersburg police officers deploy decoys acting as young children on social media sites.
Officers say a male subject contacted one of these decoys by a computer network.
They say that after having a sexually explicit conversation with a supposed 13-year-old child, he made plans to meet them.
Officers of the Petersburg Police Department and Pike County Sheriffs Office then met and arrested 19-year-old Jonathan Wamser of Otwell for Child Solicitation.
