A Bucks County man has been charged with traveling across state lines and sexually assaulting a minor that he met online.
Sean Flohr, 26, traveled from his Little Falls, Pennsylvania home to Gloucester County on Jan. 12 to meet a female between the ages of 13 and 16 that he met on social media platform Reddit, and continued to talk to on communication app Discord, according to an affidavit.
He faces charges including 11 felony sex crimes, including sexual assault upon a minor victim through the use of physical force or coercion.
Authorities originally received a tip on Jan. 12 that a minor victim posted on Reddit looking for assistance, as they planned to meet an adult male that they met online to engage in sexual activities with.
Flohr had also previously directed the victim to send him pictures and videos of her naked before agreeing to meet at the victim's home.
Police were able to identify the victim and suspect through this tip, and made contact with the victim's guardian at her place of employment, according to court documents.
The victim contacted police the next day to inform them that the man, going by the name "Dean," had just left her residence.
After the sexual encounter, Flohr cut the victim's wrist, according to court documents..
Florh was taken into custody as he was leaving his Falls Township home on Friday, and is currently in Bucks County Prison awaiting extradition to New Jersey.
Based on the investigation, police believe that there are additional victims and ask anyone victimized by Florh or information about him to contact Det. Sgt. Michael Callahan at 215-302-3324, or m.callahan@fallstwppd.com.
Information may also be provided anonymously at (215) 949-9120, or via email at tiplines@fallstwppd.com.
