Northern Ky. elected official accused of having sexual explicit conversations with cop posing as young teen

An elected in Campbell County has been accused of having sexually explicit online conversations with what he thought was a 14-year-old.

The Kentucky Attorney General’s Office arrested 52-year-old Campbell Co. Property Valuation Administer (PVA) Daniel K. Braun, of Alexandria, on Thursday. He was charged with procuring or promoting the use of a minor by electronic means, a class C felony.

He was lodged in the Campbell County Detention Center on a $1 million cash bond.

FOX19.com reports that court documents accuse Braun of “having illicit and sexually explicit conversations online with someone he thought was a 14-year-old.”

The conversations, though, were between Braun and a detective with the Kentucky Internet Crimes Against Children Task Force.

Braun has served as PVA since 2002. He faces up to 10 years in prison if convicted.
