An Arkansas minor league football coach and his wife have been arrested after they tried to lure an underage girl to have sex with them and was caught by an undercover cop, authorities say.
Benjamin Coney, 26, and Emily Brinley, 25, were charged Monday with internet stalking of a child and conspiracy to commit rape.
Each are being held at the Benton County Jail on $200,000 bail.
According to the affidavit, the couple met with a person they thought was a child on an encrypted app. They set up a meeting place in Northwest Arkansas from their home in Comey, about 188 miles away.
When the couple arrived thinking they were going to meet their young victim, they instead met an undercover detective with the Benton County Sheriff’s Office.
The duo was arrested and police found sexual ‘aids,’ cellphones and lube the their car, according to an arrest affidavit obtained by the Northwest Arkansas Democrat Gazette.
