Michael Tolbert is charged with exchanging sexually explicit messages with a 14-year-old student.

The Post-Gazette is reporting that a Wilkinsburg High School security guard was ordered to stand trial Thursday on charges that he exchanged sexually explicit messages with a 14-year-old student.

According to the Post-Gazette, the girl told police earlier this month that she had a relationship with Michael Tolbert, 26, of Garfield. The relationship extended over several months and that she exchanged more than 1,000 messages with him, some of which included explicit pictures, according to a report prepared by the Wilkinsburg Police Department.
