A 69-year-old man was arrested, accused of trying to meet two underage girls for sex

Officials say 69-year-old Wayne Wilderom of Chatsworth thought he was talking to two 14-year-old girls online but was actually talking with detectives in the Cherokee County Sheriff's Office's Internet Crimes Against Children squad.

During his chats, detectives say the man sent nude images of himself to the "girls" and planned to travel to the county to pick up the girls for sex.

When Wilderom traveled to the Cherokee County park, he instead was arrested by deputies.
