A Lexington man was arrested for contacting a 12-year old girl on social media to solicit sex.
Police say 40-year old Hershell Peyton contacted the child through facebook messenger, sent her nude photo of himself and asked her to have sex with him, even though the girl told him several times that she was only 12. Peyton has had past trouble with the law. In 2012 he spent time behind bars for terroristic threatening, stalking and assault. Now he is charged with prohibited use of an electronic communication system to procure a minor for sexual contact.
