Indiana State Police Detectives arrested a North Vernon, Indiana man on three charges related to attempted child solicitation.
The investigation began in March of 2018 when Indiana State Police Detectives were contacted with information that Christopher Blackburn, age 45, North Vernon, Indiana had improper communication with a 15 year old female.
