I know this isnt sports related but its a slow time of year on the boards.
An Amish man in the US who sent hundreds of sexual texts to a 12-year-old girl was busted after he arrived in a horse-drawn buggy for a prearranged rendezvous.
Willard Yoder, 21, from Milford in Indiana, sent about 600 texts, including nude photos and explicit videos to the girl's phone who he had contacted "by chance", the Smoking Gun reports.
When the girl's parents found out about the texting, her mother took control of her phone and continued communicating with Yoder, pretending to be a girl of 13 years old.
The parents also contacted police. The girl's father, who chose to remain anonymous, told WRTV6 he was shocked by the graphic nature of the text messages as Yoder repeatedly asked the girl for photos of her genitals.
"When the pictures started coming in, and they got more graphic, I was like, 'Oh, my gosh, this is unbelievable'," the victim's dad said.
Detective Craig Pennington told ABC News Yoder did not know that girl and had just randomly dialled her mobile number.
"He just punched a number, hoping for a reply… that's kind of scary because I'm sure that's not the first time that ever happened."
Yoder was nabbed in an undercover sting after he pulled up to a local restaurant in Milford in a one-horse wagon.
According to a Connersville Police Department report, Yoder had "told the girl in a text message the proposed sex act would happen inside the buggy".
Yoder later told the police he thought the girl was 13 and admitted it was a "bad decision".
Conservative Amish people usually shun influences from the outside world, and avoid using modern technology such as using electricity or telephones.
But msnbc.com reports mobile phones are used by some Amish for convenience, usually outside the home. Yoder has been charged for trying to solicit sex from a minor and a preliminary trial date has been set for September 19.
