JACKSON, Ky. (WMDJ) — A Breathitt County man has been arrested following a Kentucky State Police investigation involving online communications with an account believed to belong to an underage girl.
KSP says the investigation began Sept. 6 after receiving a complaint about the online conversations. Investigators say the account was actually being operated by an undercover decoy.

KSP says White acknowledged sending the messages during an interview with investigators.
White was arrested and charged with procuring or promoting the use of a minor by electronic means and promoting human trafficking involving a person under 18.
He was taken to the Kentucky River Regional Jail.
