On Wednesday night at approximately 8:05, the Kentucky State Police Electronic Crime Branch arrested an Owensboro man child sex charges.

Police said 24-year-old John W. Frazier Jr. was arrested on charges related to the prohibited use of an electronic communication system to procure a minor for sex. He was arrested as the result of an undercover Internet Crimes Against Children investigation, which began after police discovered Frazier communicating with juveniles online, police said.

The investigation resulted in the execution of a search warrant at a residence in Owensboro on Wednesday, where equipment used to facilitate the crime was seized and taken to KSP’s forensic laboratory for examination.

Frazier has been charged with one count of prohibited use of an electronic communication system to procure a minor for sex.

He was lodged in the Daviess County Detention Center but has since bonded out of custody.
