ROYAL OAK, MI A 34-year-old Royal Oak native who had been working as a trainer for the University of Georgia baseball team has been arrested and charged with several crimes after police said he had inappropriate and obscene online interaction with someone he believed to be a child.
Jason Castleman was immediately fired by the university after he was arrested late last week, officials told Atlanta news organizations on Saturday. Castleman appeared in court Saturday and has been charged with several crimes, including use of a computer service to seduce, lure or entice a child to commit an illegal act, obscene internet contact with a child, electronically furnishing obscene material to a minor and solicitation of sodomy, reports said.
