A Greensburg man is accused of trafficking a teen girl for sex, according to court papers.

City police said Samuel D. Oglesby, 30, exchanged explicit photos and videos with the girl through Snapchat in the fall before they had sex in November, according to court papers filed Wednesday.

Detectives said they started investigating after receiving a ChildLine report that the girl was having sex with older men and sending photographs and videos through Snapchat, sometimes receiving payment. Oglesby was identified as one of the men during a search of the girl’s cellphone, police said.

She told authorities that Oglesby picked her up, drove her to a home in Greensburg, gave her marijuana and $20 and had sex with her. During a search of his cellphone, police reported finding a video recorded by Oglesby that also was found on the girl’s device.

Oglesby is charged with trafficking in individuals, distributing explicit sexual material to minors, criminal use of a communication facility, corruption of minors, tampering with evidence and marijuana possession. An arrest warrant was issued.
