A Lake County man has been arrested, accused of carrying on a sexual relationship with a child who he met on the internet.

Lake County deputies, who began their investigation on August 31st say, Moffitt met the child victim on a social networking site where he listed his age as 17.
Moffitt admitted that he lied about his actual age, to circumvent a safeguard on the social networking site that prohibits adults from communicating with children. He admitted also to carrying on a sexual relationship with the child victim and also to knowing she was under age, deputies said. Moffitt told investigators that he sent inappropriate photographs to the victim via the internet.
Moffitt was charged in a previous indecent incident involving and adult in 2012.
Detectives believe there could be more victims associated with Moffitt.
