A Homer City man was arrested in Jefferson County on Thursday after setting up a sexual encounter with someone he thought was a teenager.
Police in Brookville arrested 27-year-old Todd Yarnell, Jr. at a convenience store near I-80. In late January, officers said that he began communicating with members of the online group “814 Pred Hunters” who passed themselves off as a 15-year-old girl. Officers said that Yarnell shared several sexual messages with the “teen” and allegedly tried to meet in Brookville for sex. Court documents show Yarnell is charged with statutory sexual assault, with several other felonies.
He is now in Jefferson County Jail in lieu of $100,000 bail. A preliminary hearing has not been scheduled.
