Investigators said a CyberTipline report from the National Center for Missing and Exploited Children (NCMEC) led them to Mabry.

He was arrested on Jan. 19, by the Internet Crimes Against Children (ICAC) Task Force investigators and the Lexington Police Department.

Mabry was charged with two counts of criminal solicitation of a minor and one count of attempted dissemination of obscene material to a person under age eighteen.
