A St. Charles man has been charged following a weeklong investigation into sexually inappropriate online conversations he was having with someone he believed was a 14-year-old girl, DuPage County Sheriff's officials said Monday.

Noel Luis Vanscoit, 31, of the 1700 block of Cumberland Green Drive, is charged with indecent solicitation of a child-aggravated criminal sexual abuse and traveling to meet a minor.

If convicted, Vanscoit faces between two and five years in prison or probation.

The sheriff's Digital Forensics Unit worked the investigation with detectives from the Metropolitan Emergency Response and Investigation Team, or MERIT.
