Canadian charged with attempting sex with child

Georgia police have helped the FBI catch a Canadian man they say came to Georgia to have sexual contact with a child. 57-year-old Brian Schumaker of Ontario was arrested in Atlanta. He allegedly communicated over the Internet with an undercover Alpharetta police officer posing as an 11-year-old girl and her mother. The prosecutor, U.S. Attorney David Nahmias, calls it “yet another disturbing case of a middle-aged man who allegedly traveled a long way with the intent of sexually exploiting a child.”
