(Boone County, Ky.) - On Friday, June 6, Boone County Sheriff's deputies responded to an anonymous tip of an adult male that traveled from New Hampshire to meet a juvenile female. 

The initial investigation showed that Paul Vallatini, 37, had met the female on social media and drove to Florence to meet her. 

Deputies made contact with Vallatini and the female, together in Florence. The juvenile female disclosed to deputies that she communicated with him through Snapchat, where he allegedly sent her nude photographs at least five times. 

She added that she picked Vallatini up from the airport the day prior and over the two days, he took her shopping, buying her various gifts, including underwear. 

Deputies say Vallatini was staying at a local hotel and a number of items corroborating the female's statements were located, along with condoms that were found in Vallatini's duffle  bag. 

Vallatini was charged with five counts of Distribution of Obscene Matter and one count of Human Trafficking - Victim Under 18. 

He was lodged at the Boone County Jail.
