A 23-year-old South San Francisco man has been arrested on various sex charges after allegedly engaging in several sex acts with a 16-year-old girl from Medford, Oregon, he met through Snapchat, the San Mateo County District Attorney’s Office said Tuesday.
Barry Lyons is accused of sending several messages via Snapchat to the girl and showing himself naked and masturbating before picking her up in Medford in July and driving her back down to South San Francisco, prosecutors said. He pressured her for sex before engaging in several acts, leading to the girl contacting friends in Medford who notified police, prosecutors said.
An investigation by South San Francisco police led to Lyons’ July 17 arrest.
Lyons appeared in court Aug. 3 and pleaded not guilty to all charges, with his next court date is Aug. 16 for a preliminary hearing. He remains in custody on $475,000 bail.
