Upon investigating Lemoine, deputies said they were able to receive a full confession from the man about his role in the video.
“Often, these are difficult and lengthy investigations, and I am very proud of our detectives for building the case and arresting this disgusting individual before he could hurt this child any further,” Sheriff Rick Staly said. “It is sickening that he would take advantage of this child and steal her innocence from her childhood and think it was OK... I hope he is put away for a long time so that he can never hurt another child again.”
Records indicate Lemoine is being held at the Sheriff Perry Hall Inmate Detention Facility on a $125,000 bond.
