Social media apps are a great way to meet and and interact with people. However, police in Bensalem said that Uturah Golson, 32 , of Pottstown Pa. misused an app and started to message what he thought was a 12 year old girl. He wanted nude photos of her and he started to chat with her about sex and different sex acts he wanted her to do.
This went on for three months , starting in March 2023, police said. At one point, Golson arranged with the girl to have sex with her and used public transportation to travel to Bensalem. He was messaging her and went to what he thought was her residence, at an apartment complex near Street Road. She was not there and told him she was with her friend who was 11 years old.
Golson then asked to meet both of them and have sex , which never happened. The 12 year old was actually a detective. Golson went home without meeting anyone and probably wondered what happened to his hookup.
Behind the scenes, police in Bensalem secured an arrest warrant for Golson and notified Pottstown Police. They took him into custody and Golson again wound up in Bensalem. This time it was before District Judge Michael Falcone who did not stand him up. In fact, he sent Golson to prison on $10,000,000 bail.
Golson was charged with Criminal Attempt Rape of Child Under the Age of 13 Involuntary Deviate Sexual Intercourse with a child Statutory Sexual Assault Unlawful Contact with a Minor Sexual Abuse of Children Corruption Of Minors Criminal Use of a Communication facility Indecent Assault
