A deputy arrested Marvin Thomas Shoemaker II on Thursday with accusations of luring a minor and online sexual corruption after several exchanges through social media beginning Feb. 2, 2017, according to court records.

According to the probable cause affidavit, the deputy said Shoemaker when arrested replied, "I know what this is all about and this in (sic) entrapment."

The deputy created a fake social media page claiming to be a 14-year-old girl. Shoemaker contacted the undercover deputy asking the girl to party, according to the document.

The court record claims Shoemaker later wrote, "I'd love to hookup with you I want to spend all day with you I can come pick you up if you want to hookup today."

The deputy then told Shoemaker if he was OK with seeing a 14-year-old girl.

According to the court record, Shoemaker replied, "Yes sexy send me a picture of you what your wearing so I'll know it's you when I come get you ... I'm 30."

The deputy then told Shoemaker the girl was inexperienced with physical intimacy and had only kissed her "immature" boyfriend.

According to the affidavit, Shoemaker replied, "That's fine baby. I'll make time to teach you." He then offered to take her virginity, according to the affidavit.

Shoemaker then invited the undercover deputy to stay the night at his house, and they were to meet at a grocery store in Roseburg on Tuesday, according to the affidavit. Shoemaker later postponed after claiming he had to help a family member with car problems, according to the affidavit.

On Thursday, Shoemaker again made contact with the deputy and they agreed to meet, according to the affidavit. Once deputies confirmed the suspect, Shoemaker was arrested near the Douglas County Fairgrounds exit on Interstate 5.

He was booked into the Douglas County Sheriff's Office where he is being held on $15,000 bail, according to the agency's website.
