On March 4, 2025, 34-year-old Ian Evans, Shipley Place, Philadelphia, PA, began conversing with a 13-year-old female on a social media/dating app, which quickly turned to text messages.  Within a day, Ian Evans began messaging about sexual acts and asked the juvenile to get naked while he did so.  He then texted sexually explicit photographs of himself.  He stated his intentions to meet up with the 13-year-old so that she could perform specific sexual acts with her.

The conversations continued for weeks as he continued to send photographs and videos of himself masturbating as well as other pornographic videos that depicted what he wanted to do with her.  He also continued to ask for naked pictures of the 13-year-old female.  Once he agreed to meet the juvenile for a sexual encounter in the woods behind his workplace in Bensalem, Bensalem Police obtained a warrant for his arrest.  No child was ever in danger during this investigation.

At 3:30 p.m. on April 4, 2025, Bensalem Police arrested Ian Evans as he left his place of work.  He was charged with Sexual Abuse of Children, Unlawful Contact with a Minor, Corruption of Minors, and Criminal Use of a Communication Facility.  He was arraigned by District Justice Michael Gallagher and remanded to the Bucks County Correctional Facility on 10% of $1,000,000 bail.
