Summary

An Upper Southampton man allegedly used the Roblox gaming app to solicit sexually explicit photos from underage girls. Alec J. Magill, 31, is facing seven felony charges, including unlawful contact with a minor and possession of child sexual abuse material.

He was arraigned on January [date unspecified] and is currently free on unsecured bail.
