Man Attempted To Meet Teen For Sex In South Jersey: Prosecutor

A Pennsylvania man was greeted by police officers when he went to South Jersey for a rendezvous with what he believed to be a 14-year-old girl earlier this month. Charles Amer, 46, of Warminster, was still wearing his EMT uniform when he was arrested, according to Camden County Prosecutor Mary Eva Colalillo and Pennsauken Police Chief John Coffey.

Amer had been exchanging sexually explicit text messages with an undercover he believed to be a teenage girl when he arranged to meet in Pennsauken for a sexual encounter, police said. He had been planning to take her back to a hotel in Pennsylvania, police said.

Amer, who works with four separate companies as an EMT, Belmed Ambulance, Healthfleet Ambulance, Keystone Quality Transport Company and Warrington Community Ambulance, was charged with second-degree luring, authorities said.

He was also charged with attempted sexual assault, attempted criminal sexual contact, and attempted endangering the welfare of a child. He was released from the Camden County Correctional Facility with conditions while awaiting upcoming court proceedings.

These charges were the result of an investigation conducted by the High-Tech Crimes Unit of the Camden County Prosecutor’s Office and the Department of Homeland Security Investigations – Cherry Hill division.
