Gallagher was arrested on Friday at his home after a Warren County grand jury issued an indictment in the case.
According to Warren County Prosecutor David Fornshell, Gallagher’s charge stems from text messages he sent to the alleged victim after talking to him at an area restaurant where he worked as a busboy.
