A man is facing charges after he allegedly sent obscene materials to a minor.
East Bridgewater Police say that on October 31 a School Resource Officer began investigating lewd messages sent through Snapchat to a juvenile female student.
An investigation, which included a search warrant for the Snapchat account, they were able to identify the suspect as 38-year-old Evanilson Gomes of East Bridgewater.
Police say Gomes and the juvenile communicated through the app over the course of several days, and Gomes allegedly sent unsolicited lewd images and videos and continued to do so even after learning of her age.
A warrant was obtained for Gomes and he was taken into custody as he was pulling into his driveway and his phone was seized as evidence.
He was scheduled to be arraigned Thursday in Brockton District Court on charges of Enticement of a Child Under the Age of 16; Distributing Obscene Matter to a Minor; and Operating a Motor Vehicle with a Suspended License.
