Former Disney star, Stoney Westmoreland, who made headlines for the attempted exploitation of a minor and enticing a minor, is now being charged with six felony counts after authorities said he tried to have sex with a 13-year-old boy. Reportedly, the 48-year-old actor was on the dating app Grindr when he found a profile operated by a police detective in Salt Lake City, Utah, close to where the show 'Andy Mack' is filmed.

The charging documents reveal that the actor, who is best kown for his role as grandpa Ham on the popular Disney Channel show 'Andy Mack', was arrested on December 13, in Salt Lake City after he took a car to meet the 13-year-old so they could go back to his hotel room. Westmoreland had apparently asked the minor to share nude images of himself on the app, and later, the actor himself sent out various pornographic photos. Following the charges, Westmoreland was removed from the show.
