MILFORD, PIKE CO. (WOLF) \u2014 A central New York man pleaded guilty to felony charges after Pike County detectives said he arranged to meet someone he believed was a 15-year-old girl for sexual contact.<\/p>\n
Robert Poirier, 35, of Vernon, New York, pleaded guilty to attempted statutory sexual assault, criminal solicitation involving sexual abuse of children and unlawful contact with a minor, Pike County District Attorney Ray Tonkin announced.<\/p>\n
Investigators said Poirier used electronic communications to arrange a meeting in Pike County. Detectives arrested him when he arrived at the location, according to the district attorney\u2019s office.<\/p>\n
