Man Charged With Luring 13-Year-Old: East Brunswick Police

EAST BRUNSWICK, NJ — A Brown Mills man was arrested while attempting to meet who he thought was a 13-year-old girl, Middlesex County Prosecutor Yolanda Ciccone and Chief Frank LoSacco said.

Kenneth Amy, 55 of Brown Mills, was arrested and charged with one count of second-degree luring/enticing child by various means, and one count of second-degree attempted sexual assault.

On Monday evening, Amy arrived at a pre-arranged location after responding to an online listing with a person who he believed to be a 13-year-old girl, Ciccone said. As a result of an investigation by the Internet Crimes Against Children Unit of The Middlesex County Prosecutor’s Office, Amy believed he was chatting with a juvenile when he was, in fact, communicating with law enforcement officers.

He was arrested without incident, authorities said. The investigation is active and continuing. Anyone with information is asked to call Detective Daniel Lojek at (732) 745-5924 or Detective Lauren Tredo at (732) 745-4011.
