Jordan Mikel Bulger, 18, of Opelika, was charged on Jan. 29 with one count of Electronic Solicitation of a Child, a class B Felony with a $30,000 bond.
Bulger remains at the Lee County Detention center without bond due to unrelated charges of failure to appear for 1st degree assault and certain persons forbidden to possess a firearm.
The Lee County Sheriff’s Office asks anyone with information about the case to contact the Lee County Sheriff’s Office at 334-749-5651 or Central Alabama Crime Stoppers at 334-215-STOP (7867).
