Scottsburg police arrested 19-year-old Dylan Hyde on two felony counts of child molestation, two felony counts of child solicitation and four felony counts of dissemination of matter harmful to minors.

According to a probable cause affidavit, Scottsburg Police received a call on March 31 reporting Hyde was engaging in "inappropriate contact" with two girls, ages 12 and 13.

Police responded to the skating rink in Scottsburg where police met with the 12-year-old girl's mother. She told police Hyde was sending her daughter messages through Snapchat that were inappropriate.

The 12-year-old told police she had met Hyde through a mutual friend and the two began talking. Hyde then asked her to send him nude photos of herself, which she did. He then sent her nude images and videos of himself engaging in sexual acts.

The girl told police she and Hyde met at the skating rink to have sex behind the building, but were unable to because their friends were present.

Hyde told police he thought the girl was 13, but learned she was 12. He did admit to sending her the nude photos and videos, but only after she sent photos to him first.

Police questioned Hyde about a second girl. He told police the 13-year-old girl was his "girlfriend" and the two were "in love." He admitted to sending her nude photos and videos.

The 13-year-old told police she and Hyde did share photos and she was "in love" with Hyde.
