William "Billy" Francis Vandeventer, of Doylestown, began messaging the person on an online forum, thinking he was communicating with a 13-year-old boy, Central Bucks police said.
Vandeventer tried to arrange a meeting with the "boy" at the Center Square Apartments on North Broad Street in Doylestown on Sunday, May 29 after requesting "sexual acts" and sending a selfie, according to police.

He was remanded to Bucks County Jail in lieu of $150,000 bail, according to court records. His preliminary hearing is set for June 27.
