Decatur, IL (WAND) – A 51-year-old Oreana man has been arrested for allegedly having sexual relations with a 15-year-old girl.

Richard Boline was arrested July 11 for charges of criminal sexual abuse, grooming, and possession of child porn.

According to a sworn statement, police confiscated Boline’s cell phone and recovered several text messages that had been previously deleted that depicted sexual conversations between him and a 15-year-old girl.

The sworn statement indicated that conversations between the two included extensive grooming behavior and texts about having sex.

The 15-year-old said in a sworn statement she could not recall the exact number of times they had sexual intercourse because it became so frequent.

Further investigation into cellphone records discovered several explicit photos exchanged between the two.

During a mirandized interview Boline admitted to receiving explicit photos from the 15-year-old, and that they had been sent in conversations that were sexual in nature. He also told police that if he ever provided her with photos, it was meant to go to someone else.

Online court records show Boline’s request for pre-trial release was denied on Monday and he will remain in jail. He’s expected back in court on July 23.
