Man, 53, Arrested For Allegedly Trying To Meet A Minor For Sex In Roseville

ROSEVILLE (CBS13) — Detectives say a man has been arrested after a nearly year-long investigation for allegedly trying to meet a minor for sex in Roseville.

Roseville police say undercover detectives had been communicating with the suspect - 53-year-old Joseph Vossen - over social media for the past 11 months. In that time, Vossen had allegedly continued an explicit conversation with a person he thought was a minor.

Voseen has since been booked into jail and is now facing charges of arranging to meet a minor for a lewd purpose, contacting a minor for sexual purposes, as well as several other related charges.
