Perry Twp. police nab 22-year-old wanting sex from a 15-year-old
Montgomery County prosecutors this afternoon, June 11, filed felony importuning charges against a 22-year-old New Lebanon man for attempting to arrange to have sex with a 15-year-old girl.
According to Perry Twp. Police Chief Bob Bowman, local officers with the assistance of the RANGE task force set up a sting June 10 and arrested Andrew Michael Meade at a township park.
Bowman said police earlier were contacted by school officials and a mother, all of whom shared the suspicion that an adult was targeting students through MySpace accounts and text messages. Yesterday, the mother called to say that person was again texting her daughter. With the family’s permission, a township officer impersonated the 15-year-old.
A meeting was set up for later that day at the park. Bowman said Meade “was very explicit in what he wanted to do” and clearly understood the child was 15.
But instead of a 15-year-old, Meade was met and arrested by a female township officers and a number of colleagues from the task force.
Bowman said the arrest comes just a week after Joseph Cummings of New Lebanon was sentenced to prison for five and one-half years for luring 13- to 16-year-old girls for sex.
