According to the warrants, 36 year old Benjamin Michael Crump of Canton, and 21 year old Noah Weston Clay of Rome each made contact with someone on social media they believed to be a child that under the age of 16. 

Crump also allegedly requested nude pictures of the child and sent nude pictures of himself – he was additionally charged with furnishing obscene materials to minors. Clay reportedly asked for nude pictures of the child in that case as well.
