A man who worked as a costumed character at some local theme parks was arrested after investigators accuse him of sex crimes that involved a minor in another state.

The Mercer's County Prosecutor's Office say officials were contacted by law enforcement in Missouri about an investigation where an underage girl was talking to and exchanging child sexual abuse material with a 19-year-old from Hamilton.

He was identified by investigators as Don-Diego Parkman.

Officials executed a search warrant at Parkman's home, seized evidence, and took him into custody.

The Prosecutor's Office says they learned that over the past year, Parkman had various jobs as costumed characters and mascots... including at Six Flags and Sesame Place.

Officials filed a motion to detain Parkman, pending a trial.
