ATLANTIC CITY, NJ — A Pleasantville man was charged after trying to meet up with a 13-year-old girl for sex and then revealing he was suspected of touching a different 11-year-old girl when he was younger, Atlantic City police said.

Javier Erazo, 21, was charged with attempting to lure or entice a juvenile, sexual assault and two counts of endangering the welfare of a child, police said.

On June 22, at 2:28 p.m., police went to Kingston and Sunset avenues for reports of a 13-year-old meeting up with Erazo.
