DETROIT (AP) — Authorities say three Saginaw-area men have been arrested after exposing themselves online to Wayne County sheriff's deputies posing as teenage girls.

Wayne County Sheriff Warren Evans says the men were arrested Thursday at their homes. He tells The Saginaw News the suspects apparently didn't know each other.

Anthony Broemer, 23, of Carrollton; Christopher Flanders, 36, of Burt; and Timothy Linhart, 38, of Hemlock, were arraigned Friday on one count each of illegal use of the Internet and disseminating obscene material to minors.

Broemer also is charged with accosting and soliciting a minor. His bond was set at $100,000. Bond for Flanders and Linhart, also charged with attempted dissemination of obscene material to a minor, was set at $50,000 each.

Wayne County Jail records did not indicate whether the suspects had attorneys.
