Conry met the girl while using the social network site myYearbook.com, according to the criminal complaint. The two began exchanging flirtatious text messages, which soon became sexual in nature.
The girl told Conry that she was only 15, he replied that her age did not matter, according to the complaint. Conry met the girl at her parents' residence on April 21, where they allegedly engaged in sexual activity. Conry and the girl allegedly spent some time parked on the bluff in Port Washington after that initial meeting.

After learning of the relationship, Ozaukee County Sheriff's Department Detective Christy Knowles assumed the girl's identity, using her cell phone to continue communications with Conry. Knowles made arrangements to meet Conry at the Target in Grafton. Conry was arrested last week in the parking lot of Charcoal Grill in Grafton, in the same parking lot area as Target.
Conry admitted to meeting the girl on myYearbook.com, and admitted to knowing her age. He said he deleted any graphic pictures and denied any activity on the bluff, though he did admit to having intercourse at the girl's house earlier in April.
Conry faces four counts of sexual assault of a child under 16 years of age, one count of possession of child pornography and one count for use of a computer to facilitate a child sex crime. If convicted on all charges, Conry faces up to 225 years in prison and fines of up to $600,000.
Conry remains in the Ozaukee County jail with a $100,000 cash bail set by Judge Tom Wolfgram.
