MORGANTOWN, W.Va. — A $500,000 bond was set for a Monongalia County man accused of soliciting a minor.
West Virginia State Police arrested Jonathan P. Carroll, 40 of Dorsey Avenue, on Tuesday. He was charged with soliciting a minor via computer and display of obscene material to a minor.
Investigators had been aware of a dated YouTube video where Carroll allegedly described inappropriate intentions toward a minor.
In recent weeks, the video, which police said did not depict a crime, surfaced through social media again drawing community concern.
Tuesday’s arrest was the culmination of an ongoing investigation.
Carroll was arraigned in Monongalia County Magistrate Court before Sandy Holepit.
