According to the Grant County Sheriff’s Office, 38-year-old David Francis was arrested on Sunday, Oct. 26, following an investigation into possible child solicitation.

GCSO said deputies collaborated with a local “Catch a Predator” group, which reported that a decoy had been exchanging text messages with Francis on Facebook. The content within the messages soon escalated when Francis allegedly sent sexually explicit content, including nude photographs, to the decoy he believed was a 13-year-old girl.
