Canandaigua police say they arrested a 30-year-old Honeoye man for attempted rape and disseminating indecent material to a minor.
They say Shane Merrell allegedly used social media to send nude pictures of himself to someone he thought was a 14-year-old girl but was actually a police detective. Merrell is accused of trying to meet with the 14-year-old for purposes of having sex.
He’ll appear in court a month from now.
