A police sting in the Florida Panhandle lands a 42-year-old Panama City man behind bars after detectives say he drove more than 2 hours to meet and have sex with a 13-year-old girl in Pensacola.
Pensacola cops say William White was chatting with a police decoy the entire time, and set up plans to meet for sex in Pensacola.
WEAR-TV reports White messaged the decoy, “I am just telling you I am a big pervert I have a very dirty mind and stuff like that.”
Police saw White outside the hotel he booked for the planned encounter with the girl and arrested him. He's charged with three counts:
- Using a Computer to Seduce Solicit or Lure a Child
- Traveling to Meet After Using a Computer to Lure a Child
- Use of a 2 Way Communication Device to Facilitate a Felony
A judge ordering White be held on a $500,000 bond.
