Craig Ralph of Oil City arrested and charged with attempting to lure several kids into a SUV.
Reports say that on Sunday afternoon, Oil City police responded to a call of a suspicious male trying to lure children to his vehicle. The kids ranged in age from 10 to 14 and said that three weeks earlier, they were playing outside at night and were approached by the man, they described as older with gray hair and glasses.
The male caretaker on the scene said that when he found out about the problem, went to the Megan’s Law website with the kids, and they identified Ralph. Police interviewed Ralph and he was arraigned Sunday evening in Judge Schill’s office.
Ralph is lodged in the Venango County Jail, unable to post bail. Ralph was convicted of child porn in 2010 and child sexual abuse in 2011.
