HARLAN COUNTY, Neb. — A Hastings man faces charges of enticing an Alma girl.

Jessy Peterson, 21, is charged in Harlan County Court with child enticement by electronic communication device and child abuse.

According to an arrest affidavit, on Tuesday, the Harlan County Sheriff’s office received a report from an Alma woman who said her teen daughter had a conversation on Snapchat with Peterson. She told a deputy Peterson sent the girl sexually explicit photos of himself.

The deputy said when he spoke with the victim, she stated she was scared to stop the conversation due to fear of what Peterson would do.

A warrant for Peterson’s arrest was issued Wednesday. Court records do not list whether he has been arrested.
