Willow Grove Man Among 2 Arrested For Child Sex Crimes: DA

WILLOW GROVE, PA — A Willow Grove man was among two individuals recently arrested for attempting to arrange sex with a minor, the Montgomery County District Attorney's Office announced Tuesday.

Nicholas Mosk, 26, of Willow Grove, has been charged with felony counts after attempting to use the Internet to arrange sexual encounters with children, the DA said. Michael Houston, 25, of Philadelphia was also arrested.

The DA's office said that undercover officers "extensively" communicated with each individual, who planned a meeting in Upper Merion Township.

When each arrived at the pre-determined meeting point, they were taken into custody by authorities waiting at the scene.

These arrests are separate from a similar initiative announced Tuesday by the Pennsylvania Attorney General's Office which resulted in the arrest of four men, two of whom were from Montgomery County.

Mosk failed to make $200,000 bail and was set to Montgomery County Correctional Facility. A preliminary hearing has been set for Aug. 31.
