According to a police booking affidavit, Keddington engaged in communication with underaged individuals on an undisclosed chat website and social media application. He reportedly confessed that those conversations frequently involved sexual content and expressed feelings of guilt afterward. Keddington acknowledged that he should have ceased communication when informed he was speaking with an undercover officer posing as a 13-year-old girl.
The affidavit also states that Keddington admitted to requesting nude photos from minors. He was arrested shortly after arranging to meet the undercover officer.
