While the two were in the back of the pickup, two of Scholp’s immediate family members reportedly discovered the incident, later confirming that information to police, the affidavit said.

Scholp also admitted to meeting the 15-year-old and to some of the sexual conduct, court documents said.

The incident was reported after the girl’s parents allegedly discovered inappropriate text messages between the girl and Scholp in June 2024, the affidavit said.

A $125,000 bond was set for Scholp, with the condition that he have no contact with the girl’s family, which was later posted, according to court documents. A protective order also was filed against Scholp.

Scholp is scheduled to be back in court on June 21 for a hearing, court records said.
