A Benslem police officer was conversing online with a male who thought the officer was a 12 year old girl. This male, later identified as George Shetzline, 54, of Park Avenue, Bristol, PA, was alleged to have sent the 12 year old girl multiple photos of his genitals. He also discussed sex and sexual things he was hoping the two could accomplish. This happened back in March of this year.
There was a discussion about two two meeting at the Neshaminy Mall but Shetzline never showed or that meeting never materialized, police said. They got a warrant for him.
Police said a citizen found out that he had an open warrant and called police, who advised that person to have Shetzline turn himself in. Instead of doing that, police said Shetzline ignored the warrant so officers went to the Park Avenue home where he was staying with his girlfriend. She told officers that he left the house about an hour ago.
Police searched the property and found Shetzline hiding behind a couch, in a corner of a room. He was promptly arrested and charged with Attempted Unlawful Contact with a Minor, Dissemination of Explicit Sexual Material to Minors, and Criminal Use of a Communication Facility.
His bail was by District Justice Charles Jonas and was remanded to the Bucks County Correctional Facility on 10% of $750,000. police said they will be pursuing charges of hindering apprehension against his girlfriend.
