On February 21st, 2015, the members of the New York State Police, Troop F, at SP Ellenville, announce the arrest of a male subject for communicating with a juvenile and soliciting sex from her in the Town of Wawarsing N.Y..
Arrested was Christopher A. Haight, age 23, of Wawarsing, New York who was charged with Disseminating Indecent Material to Minors 1st, a felony along with Endangering the Welfare of a Child and Forcible Touching, both misdemeanors.
The New York State Police conducted an investigation into a fourteen year old female communicating with twenty-three year old Christopher Haight via Facebook and text messaging. It was revealed that they began communicating via Facebook approximately three weeks ago. The communications then began to become sexually explicit in which they conversed about having sex with one another and getting married. Pictures were exchanged of a sexual nature between the two. Christopher Haight met with the fourteen year old and groped her buttocks during their face to face meeting. The two had later made arrangements to meet for sex when the mother of the juvenile intervened and prevented the planned interaction.
Christopher Haight was arrested and processed at SP Ellenville. He was arraigned in the Village of Ellenville Court before Town Justice Levine where he was released on his own recognizance and ordered to appear in the Town of Wawarsing Court on Friday February 27th, 2015 at 8:30 am.
