Haggerty in Kingston on two counts of criminal attempt to commit unlawful contact and one count each of criminal attempt to commit involuntary deviate sexual intercourse, criminal attempt to commit statutory sexual assault and criminal use of communication facility. He was released on $50,000 unsecured bail.
According to the criminal complaint:
Police received information Aug. 10 of a chat history that took place between a man posing online as a 15-year-old boy and a man, identified as Warner, using a sexual term as his username on a social media app.
