Gardnerville man arrested for luring child under 14
Douglas County authorities have arrested Benjamin Schuler, 24 of Gardnerville, on charges that he lured a child under the age of 14 with the intent to persuade the child to leave its home. Authorities say Schuler communicated with two 13 year old girls via e-mail, with conversations of a sexual nature. At one point, they say, he tried to lure one of them to come over to his house.
Schuler met the girls through his employment as a basketball coach for the Douglas County School District. Authorities claim that Schuler had actually touched one of the girls in an inappropriate manner.
Schuler is in the Douglas County Jail on charges of luring a child under the age of 14. His bail was set at $25,000 cash only.
