A Dayton man indicted Friday is accused of recording sex acts with a teen girl and later making threats to kill her and to share the videos.

Steven McArthur Moreland Jr., 21, is scheduled to be arraigned Thursday in Montgomery County Common Pleas Court for two counts of pandering sexually oriented matter involving a minor, seven count of unlawful sexual conduct with a minor and one misdemeanor count of aggravated menacing.

Dayton police began an investigation July 16 after a 15-year-old girl reported that she had sex several times with Moreland and that he later threatened to release videos of them having sex and also threatened to kill her, according to an affidavit filed in Dayton Municipal Court.

The girl reported that she has seen Moreland with a handgun and that he has played with the gun while drunk, the affidavit stated.
