SOMERSET COUNTY MAN CHARGED IN SEXUAL PREDATOR STING OPERATION

A Somerset County man has been arraigned this week on charges including attempted statutory sexual assault.  A member of a sexual predator sting group called “814 Pred Hunters” posed as a 15-year-old girl on social media last year and was reportedly contacted by 26-year-old Trey Shank who sent them nude pics of himself and requested nude pics in return.  The group turned over copies of the messages to authorities who later arrested Shank.
