A Cobb County man is accused of using Snapchat to solicit teenage girls for sex, according to police.
Micah Manuel Freeman, 28, allegedly used the social media app to offer various girls, ages 13 to 19, money for various sex acts, his arrest warrant states. The investigation began when a 14-year-old girl reported the messages she had received to a children’s advocacy group.
“There were multiple pictures and videos sent from that juvenile female to said accused, and their conversations showed that it was in exchange for money,” the warrant states.
