Kalkstein was employed at his father's practice, Kalkstein Chiropractic, on East Joppa Road in Towson but no longer works there, The Baltimore Sun reported.

Kalkstein is booked into Fort Bend County Jail on two second-degree felony warrants with a $100,000 bond for each charge. He has a court appearance scheduled for Aug. 15, according to court records.

Online games are commonly used by predators to make contact with children, Fort Bend County Sheriff Eric Fagan said.

"I urge parents to carefully monitor and control their children’s online activity on social media apps and games," Fagan said.
