CLAYTON COUNTY, Ga. -- Clayton County officials have arrested a Jonesboro attorney after police say he attempted to lure a teenaged girl for sex.

Authorities said the mother of a 16-year-old girl contacted them after discovering her daughter was having online sexual conversations with an attorney. Officials said the girl’s mother worked in the law firm with the attorney.

Detectives with the Clayton County Police Department arranged for an undercover officer to assume the internet identity of the teen and continued having conversations with the man. Officials said the man performed a lewd act via webcam and arranged to meet the teen.

Officers arrested 36-year-old Robbie Levin of DeKalb County in a restaurant parking lot when he showed up for the meeting.

Levin, who works for the Clayton County Indigent Defense Fund, is charged with two misdemeanors – Criminal Attempt to Contribute to the Delinquency of a Minor and Furnishing Obscene Material to a Minor Electronically. He is also charged with one felony county of Sexual Exploitation of Children.
