A Lancaster County man has been arrested and charged with sexually
propositioning his estranged 13-year-old daughter on Facebook,
officials said today.
The 39-year-old man was one of five alleged Internet predators
recently arrested, including an an EMT from Philadelphia who sent nude
photos and pornography to what he believed were 13-year old girls, the
State Attorney General Tom Corbett announced.
The Inquirer is not identifying the Lancaster County man because his
daughter shares his last name. The Inquirer does not identify alleged
victims of sex crimes.
Corbett's office provided the following account of the alleged crime:
The man, who lives in Lititz and had no contact with his daughter
for 10 years, located her on Facebook and began sexually propositioning
her, calling himself "Bad Daddy."
The man proposed meeting the girl for sex and explained sex acts in
graphic detail, telling her, "not many other fathers and daughters are
this brave, so not many of them are so lucky to experience all these
pleasures."
The girl alerted her mother, who contacted the Ephrata Borough Police Department.
Agents from the Attorney General's Child Predator Unit and Ephrata
Police arrested the man when he arrived at a predetermined meeting
location on Wednesday.
Agents seized a camera, tripod and an unopened box of condoms from
his vehicle, along with a digital camera, camcorder, computers and data
storage devices from his home.
The man is charged with one count of unlawful contact with a minor,
a first-degree felony punishable by up to 20 years in prison and a
$25,000 fine. He also is charged with one count of criminal attempted
incest, a second-degree felony that carries a maximum 10-year prison
term.
The Philadelphia EMT is identified as Michael E. Quartucci, 27, of 27, the 2500 block of West Girard Ave.
He is charged with sending nude photos and pornography to what he
believed were 13-year old girls from Norristown and Pittsburgh but were
instead undercover agents using online profiles of children.
He was arrested Sept. 14 and charged with 16 counts of unlawful
contact with a minor (related to obscene or sexual materials) and one
count of criminal use of a computer, all third-degree felonies each
punishable by up to seven years in prison and a $15,000 fine.
[You must be registered and logged in to see this link.]This story reminds me of that old urban legend of the man who hires a call girl, only to have his own daughter show up. It's pretty sad for the poor girl. Being estranged from a parent is a terrible thing, but to have your own father say those things to you... well.
