Bonner County Sheriff's Office have arrested an Idaho man in connection to a child enticement case.

BCSO officials said Christopher Lee Josephson, 41, was arrested on multiple felony charges in regards to a minor under the age of 13.

Josephson met the juvenile using social media and obtained her home address during the conversation, BCSO officials said in a press release. He initially posed as a 13-year-old boy on the social media site but later told the victim that he was in his 30s.

Josephson went to the girl's home on Feb. 26 after sending her pictures of his genitalia and requesting inappropriate pictures from her, which she refused, BCSO officials said. Josephson entered the girl's home and exposed himself to her and sexually touched her.

Josephson arrived at the girl's home driving his beige 2003 Chevrolet Tahoe with Idaho license

plates. He was confronted by two adult males who were home at the time and left as one of the men called 911, officials said.

The Bonner County Sheriff's Office suspects that there are more victims and encourage anyone

with any information to contact Bonner County detectives at 208-263-8417 ext 3206.
