A Marlton man has been charged with allegedly having sex with an underage girl that he met through the messaging app ‘Kik’ and spoke with via Facetime, announced Burlington County Prosecutor Scott Coffina and Evesham Township Police Chief Christopher Chew.
49-year old Charles Torrence was arrested after the Ocean County girl and her parents reported the incident to police.
An investigation began after law enforcement authorities from Ocean County, where the victim resides, contacted the Burlington County Prosecutor’s Office and indicated she had come forward with her parents to report the assault.
The investigation revealed that Torrence and the victim met last month through Kik and talked through texts and FaceTime for about one week before he traveled to her home and returned with her to his residence to have sexual intercourse.
Torrence was taken into custody Saturday following a motor vehicle stop by the Stafford Township Police Department in the victim’s housing development.
He was charged with luring in Ocean County.
Additional details are being withheld in an effort to protect the identity of the victim.
Torrence, of the 300 block of Summer Lane, was charged with Sexual Assault (Second Degree) and Endangering the Welfare of a Child (Second Degree) and lodged in the Burlington County Jail.
A detention hearing will be held later this week in Superior Court.
The case will then be referred to a Grand Jury for possible indictment.
The case was investigated by the Evesham Township Police (NJ) Department and the Burlington County Prosecutor’s Office, with assistance from the Ocean County Prosecutor’s Office and the Stafford Township Police Department.
The lead investigators are ETPD Detective David Niji and BCPO Detectives Mel Rogers and Brian Cunningham.
Sick fuck hang his ass!!!
This kinda seems like the girl is the one that lured him….. she got in his car and went to his house to have sex.. seems quite consensual… wonder if she lied about her age as well…. there’s a reason he’s only being charged with luring
Matthew Tursi ok….annnnnd?hes 49….if you don’t see that he’s the adult and SHE is the child (which do things they shouldn’t not fully understanding consequences)….??seriously Matt? That’s like super creeper mentality…????
Kellee-shea Graham well obviously it’s wrong but you gotta look at every circumstance in a case like this cause your gunna ruin the mans life because someone lied did something dumb got caught then cried victim that’s wrong
Matthew Tursi cmon Matt ? you see a girl that looks 20+ younger than your old nasty ass (him not you) leave her the hell alone.simple really? Go knock some dust off a grandma your age and leave someone’s teenage daughter alone.dont need to mentally traumatize children from having to see some nasty old shriveled wang
This is just a lot of false behavior on both ends I feel
Somethings not being said. They would have charged him with a lot more than luring
Matthew Tursi yes…she was probably 17 and like you said it was consensual.so legally they can’t charge him with anything but that doesn’t make him a disgusting immoral pathetic old pig that can’t get a woman the right way and doesn’t count him out as a pedophile.slavery was legal at one point too.theres a difference between right and wrong and adults should know that.hes a filthy f$ck

Kellee-shea Graham well I mean Muslims fuck at 5 and were so open to letting them and their behavior into our country so get used to this kind of stuff
Matthew Tursi underaged girls look 25 now. It’s crazy. Kellee please. Like old women don’t go cruising for young guys. Lol
Joaquin Shafto your right tho old women are worse than men
Matthew Tursi who’s we?if YOU are ok with it that’s your opinion…when did I say I’m ok with anything in the Muslim religion in our conversation about some dirty old f&ck luring a minor?????????? you’re stretching far dude.quit now
Kellee-shea Graham not me but the dems
Matthew Tursi yeah and she’s crazy if guys would rather bang a 40 year old than a younger woman
Matthew Tursi yea well I’ll fight till my last breath when that happens.i have a daughter so that way of thinking will come nowhere near my family ????
Matthew Tursi are you high???? In the laws eyes which matters more than this bs response, he did the wrong. Legal age of consent is 16 and if the other is 20 or older statutory rape applies. This is a creep n a predator and it is egregious that something like you is daring to shame the victim. If it was someone in your family you’d have a gun in one hand and rope in the other
Matthew Tursi wow victim shamer and a fake expert on Muslims. How are your posts even allowed on fb let alone on here?
Scott Barnes meh idk first amendment?
Matthew Tursi congratulations
Did doesn’t matter how bad you want to get laid, if the girl is under aged you walk the fuck away. Would you be ok if you 15yr sister had sex with a 50 year old Matt?
Chris Salardino y’all missing my point my point was he was only charged with luring so obviously it was consensual and the girl prolly lied about her age so why ruin the mans life because of something he had 0 knowledge of
She got in his car and went home with him!!!! Wtf what kind of child does that? One that’s lying about their age
Matthew Tursi are you kidding?because she got in the car with him he should be allowed to do that!? What kind of monster thinks that’s ok?
Kellee-shea Graham Your still really a fucking retard…. she OBVIOUSLY LIED SO HE THOUGHT SHE WAS OF AGE!!!! HOW THE FUCK WAS HE SUPPOSED TO KNOW SHE WASNT 18 if she didn’t him that
Matthew Tursi and zero knowledge?this douchebag is 50 and looks 60….she looks 20+ years younger.theres his “knowledge” that he should walk away.
That disgusting!!! ???
We can fix this problem. You wanna know how? Cut their lil tally wackers off. Boom!??? Frkn sickos
Tree jumper
