A Bethel Park man is in the Washington County Jail, accused of using Snapchat to lure in two underage girls.
Police charged Evan Deckard with multiple felony sex assault charges. Investigators say earlier this year, he began chatting with the underage girls on Snapchat, as well as another app called Wink.
Deckard offered them both vape pens in exchange for sexual favors, according to police paperwork.
Police say Deckard drove to Lacock Street in Canton Township, Washington County, to meet each girl separately this spring. One victim’s mother printed a flyer after the incident, asking neighbors for help identifying the suspect.
State police crime unit cyber investigators tracked him down.
Both girls told investigators Deckard knew they were 12 years old.
Police say he sexually assaulted the second underage victim, telling her to perform oral sex because it’s not “complicated.”
They planned to meet up a second time since she didn’t receive the pen.
Police asked anyone with information to come forward. They also urge parents to check their child’s Snapchat account.
