HARRISBURG - Agents from the Pennsylvania Attorney General's Child Predator Unit have arrested a Lehigh County man who arrived at a pre-determined location yesterday to meet what he believed was a 15-year old girl. The "girl" was actually an undercover agent.
 
Attorney General Tom Corbett identified the defendant as Norman Hutchko, 25, 432 S. Leh St., Allentown.
 
Corbett said that on May 29, 2010 Hutchko allegedly contacted a 15-year old girl using the online social networking site MySpace.
 
According to the criminal complaint, the teen's mother contacted the South Whitehall Police Department to report that her daughter had been contacted by a 25-year old man who made inappropriate comments.
 
"Every parent needs to understand the threat Internet predators pose to their child's safety online," Corbett said. "This case is the perfect example of a parent knowing and understanding the dangers associated with social networking sites."
 
The charges state that the teen's mother received an instant message through her daughter's MySpace account and got Hutchko's phone number, which she used to frequently text him pretending to be her daughter.
 
Corbett said that Hutchko texted the teen's cell phone saying "prob to old for u. I'm 25" and suggested meeting saying "don't tell them my age cause they'll prob not let you."
 
According to the criminal complaint Hutchko also told the teen through text messages that they could drink together sending a message saying "I have Smirnoff. We can watch a movie or two. And snuggle. After a dew smirnoffs you'll get a buz. We can also do what u said earlier. Me."
