LINCOLN, Neb. (KLKN) — A Lincoln man accused of child enticement is in even more legal trouble.

On Wednesday, prosecutors in Hall County charged 34-year-old Luke Woodral with eight counts of child enticement.

The Lincoln Police Department arrested Woodral in early July after they said he sent explicit videos and photos to a social media account that looked like it belonged to a 15-year-old girl.

It was actually run by an investigator in the Special Victims Unit.

Court documents say Woodral fell for a similar trap set by Grand Island Police.

In December, Woodral began sending messages to a social media account that purportedly belonged to a 14-year-old girl.

A 13-page arrest affidavit describes dozens of explicit conversations.

Using graphic language, Woodral talked about having sex with the girl, according to the affidavit.

Police said he also asked for explicit photos and sent images of his genitals.

The communication ended in late June.

After Woodral was arrested in Lincoln, investigators seized his phone and found the conversations in the Grand Island case, the affidavit says.

Woodral remains in custody in the Lancaster County Jail.
