An alleged sexual encounter involving a juvenile who posted an ad on the Internet was under investigation in Shawano.
Police on Sunday afternoon responded to a call from a woman who reported two male subjects having sex behind a building in the 2400 block of East Richmond Street.
When police arrived, they found a 17-year-old male and a 48-year-old man engaged in sexual activity, according to the police report.
The 17-year-old, who appeared to be crying, according to the report, told police he had placed an ad on Craigslist requesting to have sex with another male. He said a male subject had responded to his ad and expressed that he was interested in meeting up.
The 17-year-old was taken to a hospital for examination by a sexual assault nurse.
The 48-year-old man was arrested on suspicion of sex with a child over the age of 16. Charges had not been filed in the case as of Tuesday afternoon.
