Man Charged After Seeking Sex With Teen: Bensalem Police

BENSALEM TOWNSHIP, PA — A Montgomery County man is in custody for trying to lure what he believed to be a 13-year-old girl into having sex with him, police said.

Pawel Sudol, 44, of North Wales, was charged with Attempted Involuntary Deviant Sexual Intercourse, Attempted Statutory Sexual Assault, Unlawful Contact with a Minor, Corruption of Minors, and related offenses.

Sudol was arrested at his workplace on Monday by Bensalem Police, arraigned, and sent to Bucks County Prison on 10 percent of $2 million bail.

No children were in danger during the investigation, police said.

Police said that Sudol began a conversation on a social media/dating app with what he believed to be a 13-year-old female on Sept. 6. He expressed a sexual/romantic interest in the child despite acknowledging her age, police said.

Over the next few weeks, Sudol began courting the girl, saying he wanted to kiss her all over and "make love" to her when they met.

He planned to meet her after work on Oct. 7. Police said he then drove from his home and bought the girl flowers at a Giant Supermarket. He showed up at her house with flowers, but drove away. On Sunday, he showed up unannounced, but the girl was not home, police said.
