Disturbing Sexual Abuse Charge Lands Montana Man In Jail

A recent arrest took a monster off the streets and offline in Bozeman.

A 32-year-old man was recently arrested and charged with sexual abuse of children after sexually explicit conversations and photos were found on a gaming system he was using to interact with a 12-year-old child.

According to court documents, the man claimed the 12-year-old was his "boyfriend", confessing to a co-worker that the boys age made the relationship problematic. Obviously causing concern to the co-worker, they made the call to the Bozeman Police Department, stating what he was told.
