COLUMBUS, Ohio (WSYX) — Law enforcement arrested an elementary school custodian for allegedly sexting with an underage teenager.
Rick Andermatt, 41, was arrested Friday after a mother reported to police sexual communication between him and her 16-year-old daughter, according to court documents. Andermatt is a custodian at Indian Trail Elementary in Canal Winchester.
Investigators with the Exploited Children’s Unit said the two were communicating through their cellphones and exchanged sexually explicit pictures and videos. They also reportedly made plans to meet up for sex.
Police took over the girl’s phone with the mother’s permission and sent nude photos and a video to Andermatt, who responded with a photo of himself wearing the same clothes he would soon be arrested in.
He expressed a desire to meet with the girl and have unprotected sex, then sent a picture of his genitals.
While detectives interviewed him, he reportedly admitted to possessing nude images and videos of the underage girl and admitted that he knew she was underage, court documents say.
