A Florida man faces a felony charge after police said he texted photos of his penis to a 16-year-old girl. James Weldon Alton, 29, met the teen while working as a superhero impersonator at Universal Studios in Orlando.
Quote:
The girl posted this photo online, where it was found by Alton, who “commented on the photo, and an online friendship began.”
The man allegedly told the girl that he was "getting into her" and talked about masturbation.
On April 18, the girl told the man that she was 16. A week later, “Alton sent photos of his penis” to the girl’s cell phone.
In a sworn statement, he said that the girl told him she was underaged, but that he chose to ignore that, "because at times he thought it was a joke or that it was all just merely online [flirting]."
Alton was arrested on one count of transmitting harmful material to a minor.
