Lynch allegedly made sexual suggestions and mailed condoms to several Saline Middle School girls he met online between Jan. 8 and Feb. 8, police said.

While Lynch never had sex with any of the 11- to 14-year-old girls he did arrange to meet several, the News said.

On one occasion, he allegedly drove two girls to an Ypsilanti, Mich., strip club. The girls didn't enter, police said, but Lynch allegedly purchased sex toys for them at the club.
