FORT PAYNE, Ala. - DeKalb County Sheriff's Office Investigators received a report from a guardian regarding an underage female communicating with an unknown male on an application called Reality. The individual was attempting to mask his identity about who he was and disclosed false information to the child. The individual sent numerous explicit images and engaged in sexual conversation with the child and also asked her to send photo of herself to him. After weeks of investigation and working with the Reality App, internet service providers, Google, and cell phone providers it was determined the suspect was Jason Wayne Everette (45 of North Carolina).
