Burlington Police: 3 Men Had Sex With Teen They Met On Social Network

BURLINGTON COUNTY, NJ (CBS) - Burlington County authorities have arrested three men, charging that each of them had sex with a 15-year-old girl they met on line.

The Burlington County prosecutor says a 15-year-old girl from Mount Laurel met the men through social networking sites and arranged to meet them in person. The prosecutor says she met with each one separately and had sex with them in their cars.

Authorities got involved when the girl's parent found out what was going on and turned the girl's smart phone over to county detectives, who then posed as the girl and exchanged messages with the three suspects, agreeing to meet them for another sexual encounter. The men were arrested on three separate days, as each arrived for the meeting they'd arranged.

Charged are 28-year-old John Goins of Willingboro, 33-year-old Dorence Caulker of Lumberton, who is a registered sex offender and 26-year-old Matthew Sadowski of Mount Laurel. The men are free on bail. The prosecutor is urging parents to be vigilant about their children's online activities.
