A Cincinnati man has been charged with having sex with a girl he met online and then helping her run away from her parent's Green Township home.
It's a story you saw first on Good Morning Tri-State.
The victim is just 15-years-old, and while the suspect allegedly met her on MySpace.com, he could have just as easily met her by just walking out his front door, as she apparently lives in the same town.
Twenty-one-year-old Joseph Wade, of Green Township, was arrested Tuesday.
He allegedly met the girl back in June on the internet.
The Hamilton County Sheriff's Office says while the two had consensual sex, it was still illegal given the girl's age. Wade has been charged with sex with a minor, a felony.
Deputies say Wade had been warned to stay away from the girl, but didn't, leading her to run away from her home. Wade even picked the girl up from her home in the middle of the night to help her run away, according to authorities. He also allegedly kept moving her location to keep her away from her parents. That led to the additional charge of interference with custody.
Wade was given a $26,000 bond on Wednesday.
