One More Alleged Predator Caught
Attorney General Tom Corbett today announced that agents from the Attorney General's Child Predator Unit have arrested a Luzerne County man accused of using an Internet chat room to sexually proposition what he believed was a 14-year old girl, as well as sending nude photos to the girl. The "girl" was actually an undercover agent from the Child Predator Unit using the online profile of a child.
Corbett identified the defendant as Emory Earl Faux III, 22, 21 South Welles Avenue, Kingston, Luzerne County.
Corbett said that Faux, using the screen name "ttrojan12," allegedly used an Internet chat room to approach an undercover agent using the online profile of a 14-year old girl. During their initial chat, Faux allegedly posed as a 17-year old boy.
According to the criminal complaint, Faux asked the girl to send him a picture of herself and quickly sent her two photos during their first chat, both showing an exposed penis. Faux then allegedly asked the girl, "lets say u came home from school and I was in ur bed naked like that. wat would u do?"
Additionally, Corbett said that Faux is accused of using an instant message program to contact another undercover agent from the Child Predator Unit, posing as a 16-year old boy. During that online chat, Faux allegedly sent sexually explicit photos to what he believed was a 13-year old girl.
Faux is charged with two counts of unlawful contact with a minor and one count of criminal use of a computer, all third-degree felonies which are each punishable by up to seven years in prison and $15,000 fines.
Faux was arrested at his home on Thursday, November 20th, by agents from the Attorney General's Child Predator Unit, assisted by officers from the Kingston Borough Police Department.
Corbett said that Faux was preliminarily arraigned before Kingston Magisterial District Judge Paul Roberts and released on $25,000 bail. A preliminary hearing is scheduled for 10 a.m. on November 26th.
Corbett thanked the Kingston Borough Police Department for their cooperation and assistance with this investigation.
