The charges stem from a matter which occurred in September. Brown was charged Tuesday with statutory rape, indecent liberties with a child and soliciting by computer.
He was jailed on $65,000 secured bond. He had a first court appearance today, but no information was immediately available on his next court appearance.
“The Northampton County Sheriff’s Office will continue to investigate any complaints of any crime allegedly committed against any child,” Sheriff Jack Smith said in a statement. “Those found to be in violation will be prosecuted to the fullest extent of the law. All of our citizens are encouraged to be aware of those who prey on our children and report any suspicious activity to law enforcement.”
