A Florida Man was arrested last week for traveling to and attempting to have sex with a 14-year-old girl. He was met by detectives.
According to police, Anthony Petty, 62, was ‘just trying to celebrate” his upcoming birthday by having sex with a child.
Police say Petty used an app called Kik to “engage in sexually explicit conversations with a person whom he believed was a 14-year-old female child.” But as it turns out, the person Petty was speaking with was a St. Petersburg Undercover Detective.
According to police, during one of the digital conversations, Petty said, “Trust me I’m more excited to see you and we’re going to have a good time together, can’t wait to see the expression on your face as I’m licking your *****.”

Petty who turned 62 this past Sunday, was booked into the Pinellas County Jail and charged with two felonies.
