An accused drug dealer from Philadelphia is facing multiple charges after he allegedly had sex with a 14-year-old Newtown girl he sold drugs to and published a video of the act on social media, police said.

Authorities said 19-year-old Bahodir Jamolov turned himself in to Penndel Borough Police on March 20 after a warrant was issued for his arrest, Patch reported.

The warrant was issued after a police investigation revealed he allegedly had sex with a minor he sold drugs to and shared the video of the act on Snapchat. Police also said Jamolov pointed a gun at the girl's head on a separate occasion.

Jamolov reportedly drove the girl to a parking lot she believed to be near Yardley, and upon seeing several police cars driving by, told the minor they were looking for him. Afterward, he pulled a gun from the vehicle's console and pointed it at her forehead.

The 14-year-old girl told police she met Jamolov through Snapchat and had been buying drugs from him since October last year. She also told investigators she had sex with Jamolov, who claimed to be 17 after she told him her real age.

According to an affidavit, an officer found a video of the girl and Jamolov engaging in sex, recorded on the latter's phone, uploaded to Snapchat.

Police pointed out that the Snapchat account associated with Jamolov advertised selling nicotine vaporizers, marijuana, psychedelic mushrooms, Xanax and cocaine.

Jamolov faces charges for statutory sexual assault of someone 4 to 8 years younger, corruption of minors, possessing child pornography and possession of drugs with intent to manufacture or deliver.

He is free after posting $500,000 bail on April 1 and is due to appear in court on Tuesday.

Jamolov was facing drug charges prior to the incident, having been arrested in Penndel in October last year for drug possession.

An affidavit of the case said an officer spotted Jamolov driving strangely before pulling over, walking up a hill and starting to urinate.

When asked for identification, Jamolov reportedly handed the officer a credit card while the former appeared confused. Jamolov then told the officer he had smoked marijuana three hours earlier and showed the officer a vaporizer.

Police found $800 in cash, a plastic cup full of marijuana, a digital scale and plastic bags inside Jamolov's vehicle.

The affidavit said Jamolov did not answer questions regarding the marijuana, but the passenger in his car reportedly acknowledged the two were selling drugs.

Jamolov was charged with three felonies and three misdemeanors in that case and was released on non-monetary bail.
