A Milroy, Indiana man who police said showed up at an undercover sting in a horse-drawn buggy has been charged with soliciting a 12-year-old girl for sex.
21 year old Willard Yoder who is Amish, is accused of sending 600 texts, nude pictures and videos to the girl, saying he wanted to have sex with her. The girl's mother discovered the texts and went to police, who then set up a sting at a Connersville, Indiana restaurant.
When Yoder arrived in his horse-drawn buggy to meet the girl, he was arrested on four counts of soliciting a minor, police said. Investigators said Yoder later confessed to sending the texts. He was released on bond.
Police said that Yoder told them the sexting began when he sent out a random text and got a response. Even though the Amish typically shun any technology, Milroy residents said they are used to seeing Amish people with cell phones.
Yoder is set to appear in court in September.
