Webcam dancer doesn’t have audience he thinks, resulting in arrest

The 29-year-old Wichita man liked to dance in front of his webcam, authorities say, thinking the teenage girl on the other end would find it seductive.

But Gaurav Kumar learned his audience in the chat room wasn’t a 14-year-old girl, courthouse sources say, but rather a Wichita police detective working undercover online.

Detective Jennifer Wright arrested Kumar, and Deputy District Attorney Kim Parker charged him with electronic solicitation.

Kumar, listed as associate professor of research at Wichita State, faces a preliminary hearing next week in Sedgwick County District Court.

    Have you left out the salacious bits? I’m guessing so since I don’t see why there’s a problem with dancing on a web cam no matter who is the intended audience. Not that I’m asking for the ahem naked truth… just curious.
