From Attorney General Tom Corbett:

The most recent arrests by the Child Predator Unit stretch from one end of Pennsylvania to the other,” Corbett said. “They include men accused of traveling to meet children for sex, sending nude photos or videos to what they believed were young teens, and even allegedly purchasing a digital camera for a child – so that the girl could send nude photos of herself and friends.”

Corbett said that in each of these cases, the predators believed they were communicating with 13- or 14-year old girls, though they were actually in contact with undercover agents from the Child Predator Unit who were using the online profiles of teens.

Corbett noted that the number of Internet predator arrests in Pennsylvania has escalated dramatically since the creation of the Child Predator Unit in 2005.
