Kyle Brackman, Coercion and Enticement of a Minor, Ohio 2019

Fulton County Man Charged with Coercion of Minor

A disturbing case has come to light in Fulton County, Ohio, as 25-year-old Kyle Brackman of Delta, Ohio, has been indicted on one count of coercion and enticement of a minor. This alleged crime took place in 2017, when Brackman attempted to coerce a 15-year-old girl into sexual conduct.

According to court documents, a high school principal in Iowa contacted local police after discovering that the 15-year-old student was communicating with Brackman, and the messages were of a sexual nature. Brackman allegedly sent the juvenile four images of his genitals and solicited a video from the girl, further highlighting the severity of his actions.

Brackman's actions did not stop there. In 2019, officers responded to reports of a male making sexually suggestive remarks and gestures to a 10-year-old girl and a 13-year-old girl. It was on July 28, 2019, that Brackman was finally arrested.
