MARLTON, NJ — A 28-year-old man was arrested after he had an online sexual relationship with an underage girl in Texas, the Evesham Police Department said.
Shaun Hare, of Marlton, was charged with first-degree manufacturing child sexual abuse material, third-degree sending obscene material to a minor, third-degree debauching the morals of a child, and third-degree possession of less than 1,000 items of child sexual abuse material.
During a non-connected case, the Department learned that Hare was involved in an online relationship with a minor.
He had been using his cell phone to talk with a 14-year-old girl whom he met on the "OmeTV" stranger video chat platform.
They talked for two months, authorities said, and Hare coordinated the forwarding of sexually explicit images and videos back and forth.
After the girl was identified, the Evesham Township Police Department collaborated with the Rowlett Police Department in Texas. Officials found the girl and made sure she was safe.
On Tuesday, Hare was arrested and taken to the Burlington County Jail.
Anyone with information regarding this case or others is asked to contact kennedys@eveshampd.org or (856) 985-6028.
