(KNZA)---A St. Joseph, Missouri man and former school district teacher is jailed after allegedly enticing an underage child to perform sexual acts.

Fifty-eight-year-old Duane Parrott was arrested Monday by St. Joseph Police on suspicion of grooming or enticing a minor.

According to a probable cause statement cited by KQ2-TV, Parrott communicated online with someone who told him they were 16.

Police say Parrott continued sexually explicit conversations and later met the person at an agreed-upon location, intending to take them to his home.

Parrott reportedly admitted he was “going down the wrong path again” and acknowledged a similar incident several years ago.

He remains in the Buchanan County Jail.
