A school crossing guard in Broward County was arrested and charged after deputies say he sent sexually explicit messages to a person he believed to be a teenage girl.
Keith Taylor, 74, faces several charges including soliciting a person believed to be a child for sexual conduct.
According to an arrest report, the mother of the teen victim contacted the Broward Sheriff's Office's North Lauderdale district and reported Taylor made inappropriate comments toward her 13-year-old daughter.
