Officers were shown messages that were reportedly between someone posing as 11 and 13-year-old girls and 27-year-old Jordan Lee Burk. According to the arrest affidavit, Burk had sexual conversations with someone posing as an 11-year-old named \u201cEmily\u201d and a 13-year-old named \u201cMaddi\u201d about dating and pregnancy.<\/p>\n
