A meeting arranged on Facebook led to a Kentucky man's arrest.

Taylor County Sheriff's Deputies say Brandon Swanson, 29, of Campbellsville, thought he was going to meet a 15-year-old for sex. Instead, he had actually been set up by investigators.

Swanson is now in jail, charged with attempted unlawful transaction with a minor.
