State Police have charged a Sandy Lake man accused of seeking sex and explicit photos from someone he believed to be a fourteen-year-old girl.

In reality, police say the person that 53-year-old Bryan Stutzman had allegedly contacted through social media was an officer from the Bridgeport, West Virginia Police department posing as a teen.

Using search warrants issued to social media platforms and images shared during the exchange with the undercover officer, police say they determined that Stutzman was the suspect.

Stutzman was arrested at his home and charged with two counts of unlawful sexual contact with a minor.

His next court hearing is set for February 16.
