Frankfort police are investigating after they say a 21-year-old man solicited sex from a 12-year-old girl via Facebook Messenger.
Around 11:30 P.M. on July 24, police responded to a complaint that 21-year-old David Barcey was soliciting an underage female with offers of beer and sex via Facebook. Officers talked with the 12-year-old victim’s parents who allowed them access to her phone, enabling them to read through the messages.

Barcey had been sending messages to the victim telling her to come to his residence. He told her that he had beer and when asked by the victim if he wanted to have sex, he said yes.
Officers at the scene were able to use the victim’s phone to continue to communicate with the suspect via the messenger application while posing as the victim.
Through the course of the conversation with Barcey, they were able to confirm that he knew the victim was only 12 years of age. Barcey agreed to meet with the victim at a park located near his home, telling her to wait for him there. He also described what he would be wearing so that he would not be confused with anyone else that may have been at that location.
Officer surveillance of the meeting point resulted in seeing Barcey dressed as described walking near the entrance to the park. He was then taken into custody at the scene without incident.
Frankfort Police are encouraging anyone who knows of similar interactions with Barcey to contact them.
