Robert C. Dunlap, 36, 716 Good St., Houtzdale, is charged with unlawful contact with a minor and criminal use of a communication facility. Bail was set at $25,000, straight.
State Attorney General Tom Corbett said in a press release that Dunlap, using the screen name "rcdunlap1971," allegedly used an Internet chat room to approach an undercover agent from the Child Predator Unit who was using the online profile of a 13-year old girl.
During the initial conversation, Dunlap allegedly asked the girl her age, requested photos of the girl, and then proceeded to send a nude webcam video.
According to the criminal complaint, while sending the nude Webcam video, Dunlap asked the girl, "Would you touch it?" and expressed a desire to engage in other sexual activity with the child.
Dunlap was arrested at his home Aug. 21 by agents from the Child Predator Unit, assisted by Clearfield-based state police. Agents also executed a search warrant at Dunlap's home and seized two computers and a Webcam, which will be analyzed by the Attorney General's Computer Forensics Unit as part of an ongoing investigation.
The charges against Dunlap are both third-degree felonies, each punishable by up to seven years in prison and $15,000 fines if he is convicted.
