Corbett said that Gopalika allegedly used an Internet chat room to approach what he believed was a 13-year-old girl from the Pittsburgh area. The 'girl' was actually an undercover agent from the Child Predator Unit.

According to the criminal complaint, Gopalika engaged in a series of chats over the next several days, questioning the 'girl' about her sexual experience and describing the sex acts he wished to engage in.

Gopalika is also accused of sending the 'girl' two webcam videos that showed him nude or masturbating in front of his computer.

He was arrested July 1 when he arrived at a predetermined meeting location in Cranberry Township, Butler County. Following a search of his vehicle, agents seized two laptop computers, a digital camera, a cell phone allegedly containing a partially completed text message to the 'child', directions to the meeting location and a bag of condoms.

The attorney general's Child Predator Unit has arrested 226 online predators since it was created in January 2005.
