Man Arrested After Bragging About 14-Year-Old Girlfriend on Facebook

(Sept. 13) -- There's always a risk of oversharing on Facebook -- especially when you're a 27-year-old man attempting to illegally marry a 14-year-old girl. Police arrested Robert Nickson Jr. of Delaware County, Pa., earlier this week after learning of his alleged sexual relationship with a teenager through the couple's Facebook postings. Nickson and the underage girl haven't exactly been hiding their relationship, according to cops. They have both uploaded Facebook profile photos showing them together, and posted status updates noting they are "in love" and "engaged," police told the Philadelphia Daily News. They also allegedly sent text messages saying they were afraid the law might get in the way of their relationship. Court documents quoted in the paper reveal that the couple knew that the age of consent in Pennsylvania is 16, but they "didn't think they would get caught."

Nickson was charged with statutory rape, aggravated indecent assault and corruption of a minor after the girl told law enforcement officials that she had sex with the suspect at least four times in the apartment he shares with his father. ♫ Who let the dogs out? Who? Who? Who? Who? Who?
