Man arrested for luring child to mall www.privateofficer.com
Atlanta GA. March 12 2008 A Gainesville man has been arrested in the Mall of Georgia area on federal charges related to enticement of a minor child for purposes of having sex, the FBI announced Monday.
Arrested on Saturday about 3 p.m. was Kenneth V. Chase, 61, of Gainesville, who works in customer service and tech support for Hawg Halters Inc., a custom motorcycle parts and components store in Dahlonega, according to an affidavit issued for Chase’s arrest.
He is accused of using “a facility and means of interstate commerce to knowingly attempt to persuade, induce, entice, and coerce an individual under the age of 18 to engage in criminal sexual activity,” the affidavit says.
Chase will appear before U.S. Magistrate Judge Clayton Scofield at 10:30 a.m. Thursday in the federal building in downtown Atlanta for a preliminary and bond hearing, according to Patrick Crosby, public information officer for the U.S. attorney’s office in Atlanta.
The scheme began in May 2007 in an Internet chat room. The arrest was conducted by the FBI in conjunction with the Morrow Police Department.
Involved in the arrest was the Safe Child Task Force. The task force is a coalition led by the FBI whose members include primarily officers from police departments in Morrow, Roswell, Alpharetta, Duluth, Rome, and Henry and Clayton counties.
