JACKSONVILLE, Texas (EAST TEXAS NEWS) – A Jacksonville man remains behind bars after authorities say he carried out a prolonged campaign of sexual coercion, harassment, and online stalking directed at multiple people.
Dewayne Scott Chapline, 58, of Jacksonville, was arrested Friday at the Cherokee County Jail on a total bond of $510,000 on warrants charging him with online sexual coercion, harassment, and online impersonation.
Following a lengthy investigation, detectives determined that Chapline threatened and intimidated a person into sending him sexually explicit photos, according to the Jacksonville police.
He then used the images to threaten the individual and demand additional material, according to the police.
Jacksonville police stopped Chapline during a traffic stop Friday on the 300 block of Neches Street in Jacksonville and transported him to the Cherokee County Jail, according to Police Chief Steven Markasky.
