California man charged with soliciting minor

ANNAPOLIS, Md. (AP) — Anne Arundel County police say a man who allegedly solicited a teenage girl to send him sexually explicit photos and videos has been arrested in California.

Maryland authorities say 25-year-old Murray Lee Chesak of Ontario, California, was arrested last week in California. Police say Chesak, who is charged with sexual solicitation of a minor, is being held in Rancho Cucamonga, California, awaiting extradition to Maryland.

Anne Arundel County police say Chesak had been communicating electronically with the now-15-year-old girl for two years. Authorities say the girl’s father found out and reported the communications to police.
