ALBANY, Ga. (AP) — An Atlanta man is being held in a south Georgia jail after he was arrested in a weekend sex-sting operation.
Albany police and the Dougherty County sheriff’s office said 31-year-old Sivakumar Jeraraman was taken into custody at a local motel on Saturday.
Authorities allege that Jeraraman drove from Atlanta to an Albany motel with the intentions of having sex with someone he believed to be a 14-year-old girl.
Albany Police Capt. Craig Dodd said the girl turned out to be an undercover police officer.
Investigator said Jeraraman is an Indian national in the United States on a work visa.
He remains in the Dougherty County Jail under $5,000 bond.
