On October 26th, Jamie Wooldridge (Plainfield, MA) was arraigned in Berkshire Superior Court. Wooldridge is charged with:
- Dissemination of Matter Harmful to a Minor
- Enticing a Child Under 16
The Defendant is alleged to have enticed a child under the age of 16 between fall of 2022 and October 4, 2023. He began communicating over Facebook with a teenage girl (identified to be 14 years old living in North Adams). The conversations were sexual in nature and included requests for sexual acts, pictures, description of the girl’s body and that she wear certain lingerie at a planned future meeting. The Defendant also sent pictures of his erect penis covered by his sweatpants. Throughout their communications, the Defendant is alleged to have acknowledged the girl was 14. He also stated he knew there would be consequences should anyone discover the sexual nature of their conversations.
The Defendant and the teenage girl planned an in-person meet up. He described the color of his car and the location and time of the meeting.
