A Washington Twp. man who reportedly sent inappropriate texts to a 15-year-old and had sexual conduct with her will serve more than four years in prison.

Christopher Todd Scholp, 53, was sentenced to 54 months, or four years and six months, in prison, according to the Montgomery County Prosecutor’s Office.

He also was designated a Tier II sex offender and is required to register his address every 180 days for 25 years.

Last month, Scholp pleaded guilty to one count of unlawful sexual conduct with a minor in Montgomery County Common Pleas Court.

Two counts of sexual imposition were dismissed.

In late December 2023, Scholp reportedly met with the teen near Washington Trace Clubhouse and engaged in sexual conduct in the back of his truck, according to Kettering Municipal Court records.

Two of his family members reportedly discovered them.

The investigation into Scholp began in June after the girl’s parents found inappropriate text messages between Scholp and their daughter, according to municipal court documents.
