Search On For Man Who Sexually Solicited Teen In Babylon: PD

BABYLON, NY — Suffolk police are looking for a Manorville man accused of approaching a 15-year-old girl on the street in Babylon this month and soliciting sex from her before driving away.

Andrew Quattrone, 38, walked up to the teen in a parking lot behind 24 East Main Street on May 13 at 5:15 p.m., police said.

He handed the girl a phone with a pre-typed sexually explicit message for her to read and requested she perform a sex act, police said.

A two-count warrant was issued for Quattrone by Suffolk County First District Court on May 24 for third-degree criminal solicitation and endangering the welfare of a child.
