Hartford Man Arrested For Allegedly Sexting 12-Year-Old

A Hartford man is facing up to eleven years in prison after being arrested on charges of accosting children for immoral purposes and using a computer to commit a crime for allegedly sending sexually explicit messages on Facebook to a 12-year-old girl. The victim's family told the Van Buren County Sheriff's Department the girl was using the phone of a family member to go to the social networking website, and said the messages from Dustin Carlisle to the child were extremely sexual. The two had been chatting on the website for several months prior to his arrest. Carlisle has been arraigned and will be back in court on October 11 for a preliminary hearing.
