URBANA – What started as an online conversation between a teen-age girl and a parolee has morphed into felony charges against a Mahomet man for trying to have sex with the child.

Champaign County State's Attorney Julia Rietz said Calvin Rexroad, 38, of the 300 block of Prairieview Road, was arrested Wednesday night near the Victoria's Secret store at the Market Place Mall in Champaign, where Rexroad thought he was about to meet a 13-year-old girl.
