THURMONT, Md. (DC News Now) -- The Frederick County Sheriff’s Office (FCSO) said a man was arrested for soliciting sex from a minor in Thurmont on Wednesday.
The investigation into online solicitation of minors started after the National Center for Missing and Exploited Children created a cybertip. FCSO said that led to deputies identifying 27-year-old Travis Peters as a suspect.
Deputies conducted a search warrant at a home in the 100 block of Dogwood Ave. and seized many electronic devices for forensic analysis.
As a result, Peters was arrested and charged with: • Three counts of Sexual Solicitation of a Minor • Two counts of Child Pornography Solicitation • Three counts of Distribution of Obscene Matter to a Minor
