Amish Man Arrested For Sexting 12-Year-Old Girl; Showing Up For Liaison In Horse-Drawn Buggy

I saw Jonah Goldberg goof on Amish Sexts yesterday. Like "Who is thine daddy?" or "Taketh mine manhood."

Yeah, so. Amish -- but not dead.

Pennington said that after the girl started getting the texts, she turned her cellphone over to her mother and the mother acted as if she were the girl.

"The mother made sure this person understood that this girl was 12 years old," Pennington said.

Pennington said the messages started out innocently, but eventually the man texting wrote that he was a 21-year-old Amish man named Willard and asked the girl to send naked pictures of herself and asked if she wanted to "make out."

Pennington said the man continued to send texts and the mother turned the cellphone over to police.

Pennington said Yoder also sent five pictures and two videos to the girl's cellphone, some of which included naked photos of him. Police then used the cellphone to set up the meeting.

The Amish Chris Hansen interviewed him at the house, asking, "I see you brought a lot of things with you... some mead. Honeymead? Why would you bring honeyed mead to the home of a 12 year old girl?

"And what are these? Lambskins? What were you planning to do with these oiled lambskins, Mr. Yoder?

"And a butterchurn? Were you planning on having her making fresh butter? Oh, you were planning on having her make fresh butter. I guess that's not illegal but that's still not right."
