When the girls began to walk away, Quattrone asked them to reconsider making a video, police said.

The girls ran to a nearby store and called police.

An investigation identified Quattrone, of 501 51st Street in Lindenhurst, as the suspect, police said. He was arrested at 5:10 p.m. on Monday in the same King Kullen parking lot where the alleged incident occurred, police said.

Quattrone is charged with two counts each of attempted use of a child in a sexual performance, endangering the welfare of a child and third degree criminal solicitation. He will be arraigned on Tuesday at First District Court in Hempstead.

Detectives are asking anyone with information regarding this incident or similar incidents to contact the Seventh Squad at 516-573-6753. All callers will remain anonymous.

In 2009, Quattrone was accused of similar crimes in North Bellmore and Westbury, according toreports. He was eventually convicted of third degree criminal solicitation and spent three years in prison, according to state inmate records. He was released from prison on Sept. 20, 2013.
