EMT arrested for sending inappropriate photos

A 21-year-old Pennsylvania EMT has been arrested after authorities say he sent explicit photos to a 15-year-old girl.

Police say the victim was a girl the suspect treated after an accident. Lawrence County District Attorney detectives say Joshua Patterson took the 15-year-old victim’s information and right after his shift, did an internet search for her.

Police say he found her on Snapchat and quickly started a conversation. They say he started sending sexually explicit pictures of himself. 

According to the criminal complaint, Patterson admitted to everything when questioned by police.
