Delaware Limo Driver Charged With Attempting To Lure Boy For Sex
PHILADELPHIA (CBS) -- A limousine driver is behind bars after attempting to lure, what he thought was a teenage boy, into a sexual relationship.
Delaware County District Attorney Jack Whelan says 58-year-old Lawrence Walls of Millsboro, Delaware was arrested Thursday on multiple felony counts, including attempted indecent assault, statutory sexual assault, and using the Internet to lure his alleged victim.
"What his intent was thorough a series of text messages and emails, what his ultimate goal was, was to come and meet the 15-year-old boy in order to engage that boy in sexual relations," Whelan told KYW Newsradio.
Whelan says the teenager was in fact, an undercover agent.
He says the investigation began on October 11th when Walls posted an Internet ad titled "Young man wanted".
The agent then engaged in a number of internet conversations with Walls. Walls was arrested when he showed up at a parking lot in Aston to meet the imaginary boy.
