A soldier stationed at Fort Campbell in Kentucky was arrested for allegedly sexting with a teen girl.
Pinellas County Sheriff's officials said in a news release that 23-year-old Peter Maxx Matlock started a long-distance internet relationship that began when the girl was 14 and that he was aware of her age.
Detectives say the pair exchanged nude photographs and performed simulated sex acts over Skype. A report said their relationship lasted from February to November 2016.
Deputies arrested Matlock on Wednesday, while he was on leave at his parents' home in Clearwater, Florida. He was charged with transmission of material harmful to a minor by electronic device, among other computer-related charges.
He's being held in jail on $55,000 bond. It's unclear if he's retained an attorney.

In this day and age it hard to imagine how people are foolish enough to sext or share any other potentially embarrassing or criminal intent over the net via phone, email or social media SFC Joe S. Davis Jr., MSM, DSL
I have no sympathy for a 23-year-old soldier who is sexting with a 14-year-old-girl especially when he knew how old she is. Based on the scant details I expect that the girl is now 15 years old - which means she is still a minor.
Hopefully Peter Maxx Matlock will be charged in Pinellas County, Fla and convicted in and that he will be discharged from the US Army under a less-than-honorable discharge after he is released from prison.

Most likely he would be discharged before going to prison if convicted. You would be amazed how fast the processing can go in cases like this. Saw it when I worked in the Marine Corps. Check out goes really fast with MP escorts

He will most likely be forced to register as a sex offender everywhere he goes. Sometimes you cannot fix Stupid.
