An Elizabethtown man has been arrested on charges that he tried to lure a minor for sex.
According to investigators with the Cybercrimes Unit of the Kentucky Attorney General’s Office, 50 year-old Timothy Walters posted ad online on March 20. An undercover officer responded to the ad and pretended to be a minor.
Walters send nude photos of himself and asked to meet up for sex, according to investigators.
After his arrest around 6:30 p.m. Monday, investigators said Walters, an employee of the U.S. Postal Service, admitted to having the online sexual conversation and sending the photos.
Walters is being held on $10,000 bond at the Hardin County Detention Center after being charged with unlawful use of electronic means to induce a minor to engage in sexual or other prohibited activities.
Susan Wright, a U.S. Postal Service spokeswoman, said the charges filed against this Postal Service employee are very concerning and this type of behavior by any postal employee will not be tolerated.
Wright said Walters is now on “emergency placement.”
