Huntsville police have arrested a man they say used an online dating app and social media to meet with a 13-year-old girl for sex.
Daniel Sharp, 22, faces charges of rape, sodomy, traveling to meet a child for an unlawful sex act, electronic solicitation of a child and transmitting obscene material to a child. Additional charges could follow.
Investigators say Sharp met a 13-year-old girl on an app and used social media to engage in sexual activity. Police say he went to Morgan County and brought the girl back to his Huntsville apartment, where he had intercourse with her.
The department’s Special Victims Unit (SVU) investigated the case, and Sharpe was arrested Thursday at his apartment.
Anyone with information about Sharp is asked to contact investigators at 256) 213-4501.
