A Texas man was accused of sending sexually explicit messages and violent threats to a young Arkansas girl after allegedly contacting her through TikTok.
According to authorities, the investigation began after the alleged victim’s mother contacted the sheriff’s office on May 18. She said her 10-year-old daughter had been receiving text messages from an unknown adult on her cellphone.
Investigators said the communication allegedly started more than a week earlier after the man commented on the girl’s TikTok posts. The two then began exchanging messages. Although the child allegedly told him she was 13 years old, the conversations reportedly continued.
