A barber working at the Augusta Youth Development Campus has resigned after his arrest for allegedly offering candy to a juvenile in exchange for oral sex.
Steven Kenneth Boler, 51, was charged Wednesday with enticing a child for indecent purposes.
Authorities say Boler tried to pressure a 14-year-old boy to provide oral sex last month inside the youth center.
According to a warrant, Boler asked the youth if he would provide oral sex for one piece of candy. The boy said no.
“For two pieces of candy?” the barber allegedly asked.
“No,” the boy said.
“For a whole bag of candy?”
“Yes.”
Authorities say the boy did not commit the sex act and was not given the candy. But he told other youths, who informed YDC officials of the offer.
Boler was charged Wednesday and booked into the Richmond County Detention Center under no bond.
