A 69-year-old man was arrested, accused of trying to meet two underage girls for sex

Officials say 69-year-old Wayne Wilderom of Chatsworth thought he was talking to two 14-year-old girls online but was actually talking with detectives in the Cherokee County Sheriff's Office's Internet Crimes Against Children squad.
