WARREN, Ohio - A 39-year-old Warren man is in jail without bond on a charge of using minors in nudity-oriented materials.

Police arrested Christan Roberts at his Arthur Drive NW home on Wednesday following an investigation into his alleged sexual relationship with a 16-year-old girl.

Officers were called earlier this month by relatives of the teen who claimed she had been meeting with Roberts and the two were allegedly exchanging sexual pictures and messages.

Roberts is awaiting a video arraignment in Warren Municipal Court.
