Amish Man Busted for Allegedly 'Sexting' Explicit Pics, Video to a 12-Year-Old Girl
June 21, 2011
"Yoder told the girl that, 'the proposed sex act would happen inside the buggy.'"

An Amish man has been detained by police after allegedly sending hundreds of sexually-explicit messages to a 12-year-old girl. A sting operation led to the arrest after the man drove his buggy (yes, horse and carriage) to a local Indiana restaurant to meet the young girl. The Smoking Gun has more:
Nabbed in an undercover sting, Willard Yoder, 21, is facing four felony counts for allegedly soliciting sex from the minor. Yoder, pictured in the mug shot at [left], is free on $20,000 bond.In one text, Yoder told the girl that, “the proposed sex act would happen inside the buggy,” according to a Connersville Police Department report.
Initially, Yoder had "by chance" contacted the girl's phone via text. After her parents became aware of the inappropriate communications, they took over messaging (pretending to be their daughter) and contacted authorities for assistance. Police arranged the trick restaurant meeting, where Yoder later purportedly admitted he thought he was going to have sex with the girl.
Investigators say that he cooperated when they approached. They claim, he "walked his horse and buggy around the building and tied it to a post outside." Watch the ABC News report, below, for more:
