Man jailed for sex attempt on a child

An investigation to an 18-year-old man allegedly having an intimate relationship with a teenage girl led to the arrest of a 46-year-old Flomaton man on allegations he came to Monroeville to meet the same girl for sex.

According to Monroeville Police Investigator Keith White, MPD was notified of a possible inappropriate relationship involving a juvenile female Friday.

"Investigators started looking into the case involving a local individual and that is when they learned that the juvenile had been in contact with a 46-year-old man from Flomaton via text message," White said. "The suspect was allegedly coming to Monroeville that day to meet with the girl and officers intercepted him before he met with her."

Kevin Brown was taken into custody during a traffic stop on South Alabama Avenue, White said, and has been charged with traveling to meet a child for unlawful sex acts.

His bond was set at $100,000 and he was released Tuesday.

White noted that the investigation is still ongoing.
