A 65-year-old Zimmerman man is accused of having sex with a 14-year-old girl.
Robert Francis Blasey allegedly met the girl over the Internet and met her in person this fall.
The girl is from North Dakota, and the arrest took place in Bismark.
Blasey was arrested on Wednesday, Dec. 3 on a felony luring charge, and has since been charged in Cass County with gross sexual imposition, which is a double A felony in the state of North Dakota.
He is also being charged with luring minors by computer.
Blasey made his initial appearance in court and a preliminary hearing and/or arraignment is scheduled for Jan. 7.
Derek Cruff, a detective with the West Fargo Police Department said if Blasey is found guilty, under North Dakota law he can be sentenced to life in prison.
Blasey was a traveling salesman who allegedly met the girl online.
Even though the alleged sex was consensual, because of the girl’s age it is considered a felony.
Police became suspicious of Blasey after the girl’s mother called police after looking at where her daughter went online.
