Amish man charged with sexting, soliciting minor for sex in his buggy

An Amish man accused of sexting a minor with graphic photos was arrested after arriving in a horse-drawn buggy for what he thought was a sexual encounter with the 12-year-old girl, WRTV reports.
Willard Yoder, 21, of Milroy, Ind., has been charged with soliciting a minor, the Indianapolis TV station reports.
Connersville police allege that Yoder had sent the girl 600 texts, nude photos and videos and said he wanted to have sex with her in his buggy.
The girl informed her parents of the unsolicited text messages. They pretended to be her to arrange the rendezvous last week as part of a sting operation with police.
Yoder was arrested outside a restaurant after he pulled up in the buggy.
WRTV says members of the Amish community typically shun any technology but some increasingly use cell phones in some communities.
In the police report posted by TheSmokingGun.com, an officer quotes Yoder as saying he thought the girl was 13. He said, according to the report that he "realized it was a bad decision and had never done anything like this before."
What? She was 12 years old, but he thought she was 13?
