LYNCHBURG (AP) - A Liberty University student is behind bars after being arrested in a sting to catch Internet sexual predators.
State Police arrested 22-year-old Jamison Dean Gibbs of Acworth, Ga., Friday at the conservative Christian school founded by the late Rev. Jerry Falwell.
He was charged with attempting to take indecent liberties with a child and using an electronic device to solicit a juvenile.
Stafford County Sheriff's spokesman Bill Kennedy said Detective Darryl Wells pretended to be a 13-year-old girl from Fredericksburg during online conversations with Gibbs that began in October.
Kennedy said Gibbs tried several times to set up meetings with the girl.
Gibbs was jailed under no bond and is pending transfer to Stafford County.
