Two more men -- a Drexel University graduate student and a Cherry Hill, NJ dentist -- have been arrested in Bensalem, Pa. as detectives continue their crackdown of suspected online predators (see previous stories).
Bensalem police say their Special Victims Unit monitored very explicit sexual conservations the two men were having with what they thought was a 14-year-old girl.
Eventually the men decided they wanted to meet the girl, but they were taken into custody by detectives when they showed up for their rendezvous.
Bensalem public safety director Fred Harran says their first reaction is one of shock:
"You know they're there for the glory -- they’re getting ready to meet their dream of their sexual conversation that’s been going on for the last couple of weeks or months, and I think it takes a while for it to sink in.”
The men are identified as 24-year-old Arun Kurikote-Antony (above left), an Indian national in this country on a student visa; and John Lackner (above right), a 44-year-old dentist from Cherry Hill with a practice in Vineland, NJ.
Harran says Lackner was arrested with a pair of toy handcuffs in his car.
