MUNCIE, Ind. -- An 18-year-old Muncie high school student was arrested after police said he sent illicit text messages to a 14-year-old girl.

Zachary A. Jones was arrested Wednesday, accused of sending "vulgar messages depicting sex acts" to a fellow student, said Sgt. Linda Cook.

The girl's parents found the messages and called police.

The girl told investigators that she had been "sexting" with Jones and that he had also kissed and fondled her in a back stairway at Burris High School.

Cook said Jones admitted to sending the messages and that he was remorseful.

He was preliminarily charged with vicarious sexual gratification and sexual misconduct with a minor. Cook was released Thursday on pre-trial probation.
