Man, 59, arrested for allegedly trying to have sex with girl, 6 and boy, 8

A 59-year-old Peachtree City man was arrested Tuesday after he allegedly attempted to proposition a Florida parent to allow him to have sex with his young son and daughter.

Mr. Ronald Bauer, of Crown Court, was charged with use of the internet to lure child after the Marion County Sheriff’s Office in Florida issued a warrant for his arrest, officials said.

The alleged crime began in August when Mr. Bauer met the dad of a 6-year-old girl and an 8-year-old boy on the internet and asked to teach them various sexual positions as well as perform oral sex on them, according to the arrest warrant.

The husband and father of a young child also asked the dad to email him nude pictures of the children.

But the dad turned out to be an undercover officer and in February a warrant was issued for Mr. Bauer's arrest.

Peachtree City police arrested Mr. Bauer Tuesday and he a day later he remained in the Fayette County on $10,000 bond, according to jail records.
