JEFFERSON COUNTY, Pa. — A Westmoreland County man is accused of trying to meet a teenage girl for sex.
NBC affiliate WJAC reports Ryan Gabelli, 31, was arrested just outside Punxsutawney, where police say he was trying to meet who he thought was a 15-year-old.
Gabelli had actually been communicating with 814 Pred Hunters, an organization dedicated to exposing online predators.

814 Pred Hunters live-streamed Gabelli’s arrest on Facebook. He is now in the Jefferson County Jail.
