California professor accused of attempting to sexually lure 7-year-old girl with chocolate bar and doll

A California professor is accused of trying to sexually lure a 7-year-old girl in conversations with an undercover FBI agent.

Rodger "Rod" Githens, an associate professor at the University of the Pacific, was arrested Friday and is being charged with receipt and distribution of images of a minor engaging in sexually explicit conduct, according to a criminal complaint filed in the U.S. District Court for the Eastern District of California.

The criminal complaint details how Githens allegedly attempted to sexually lure a 7-year-old girl in the sting operation. An undercover FBI agent originally met Githens on the Grindr dating app before the two moved their conversation over to Telegram, where the professor appears to open up.

Githens allegedly expressed in the graphic conversations with the FBI agent that he previously had sexual relations with children as young as 5-years-old.
