Child Predator Arrested

Police arrested a man for allegedly fondling a 12-year-old girl. The man was communicating with the Lorton girl online and on Thursday, March 26 arranged to meet her at her home while her parents were gone. While there, the man touched her inappropriately and fled when her parents unexpectedly came home. The parents discovered two days later that the suspect was an adult and called police.

An investigation led to the arrest of Owen Anthony Brown, 20, of 129 White Pine Circle #102 in Stafford. He was apprehended at home on Tuesday, March 31 and transported to the Rappahannock Regional Jail in Stafford. Brown was charged with use of a communication device to solicit a juvenile, aggravated sexual battery and indecent liberties with a minor.
