According to court documents, police were called Oct. 6 to the first block of South Philadelphia Street and spoke to the girl, who said that a man, later identified as Codispoti, had offered her drugs in exchange for oral sex.

Police said that Codispoti was identified from a video taken during the incident and his vehicle registration, and was arrested the next day.
