A first court appearance date is pending, but formal charges have been filed against an Emporia man accused of sexual misconduct with a teenager.
Garold Markham now faces two counts of electronic solicitation of a minor between the ages of 14 and 16 as well as one count of promoting obscenity. He’s also charged with possession and distribution of marijuana and possession of drug paraphernalia.
Emporia Police officers say Markham was reported late Tuesday night for allegedly soliciting a child through social media. Further details of the case have not been released.
