Report: Girl, 9, solicited for inappropriate photos on Instagram

Deputies are investigating a report of a 9-year-old girl who was reportedly solicited to send inappropriate photos of herself to a stranger on Instagram, according to public records.

“Someone messaged her Instagram account asking her for pictures of her front with her shirt off, pictures of her front private area and her butt,” the caller told Miami County dispatchers. “(She) sent these pictures. She’s 9 years old.”

The report was made to deputies Friday morning.

Miami County Sheriff’s Office investigators said they are working to gather forensic evidence to determine what may have been sent and who may have been responsible.

The caller told investigators she’d become aware of the possible inappropriate conversations after hearing from the 9-year-old girl’s older sister.
