Deputies heard Monday from a YouTube personality, who said Denis Dean sent inappropriate photos of himself to someone he thought was a 13-year-old girl over a span of five days. Dean, who lives in Endwell, was arrested in Endicott after he was confronted by members of an online watchdog group at a “predetermined meeting spot,” deputies say.

He’s charged with attempted rape and four counts of attempted disseminating indecent material to minors, all of which are felonies.
