Sting Catches Texas Man Who Traveled Over 1,000 Miles For Sex With 9-Year-Old Girl

A Texas man traveled over 1,000 miles to Orlando, Florida, to have sex with a nine-year-old girl, but the girl was not there on Saturday when he arrived. Instead, carrying Sour Patch Kids candy, a bag of Skittles and a bottle of lubricant, he was met by police.

Mark Andrew Nichols, 64, interested in a fake advertisement launched September 13 on a website which spoke of meeting “experienced parents to learn new things from about raising little ones,” responded by allegedly frequently emailing and texting the detective who was posing as the girl and her parents, according to WFTV.

According to Orlando police, Nichols, who is married with two young children, wrote of sex acts that he planned to perform with the girl.

The fake dad said he and his wife were attempting to fashion a modeling career for their supposed daughter, and asked Nichols what “interests” he had with the girl. Nichols replied, “When you say interests, are you asking generally? Or sexually?” He added he was “fascinated” with incest, which he called an “extreme turn on.”

Nichols wrote that he wanted to have sex with the girl but wanted to know if the parents were “comfortable” with the idea. He also stated he would love to “watch,” and also asserted, “I am extremely respectful about all of this.”

When the detective posing as the father asked what Nichols’ desires were, Nichols answered:

I would like to visit you all. I am interested in having sex with the child and the child’s mother. I am bi so I am open to some bi play with you if you are interested. If you are not, that is fine. I would maybe like to watch you have sex with the child. Be there. Touch and re-assure her. Then have sex with her myself. Would the child want to watch me with mom? … I want to be respectful and just provide you all with a fun, safe experience.

Asked by the fake mom if he had a daughter or had participated in activities like the ones he wanted with his own child, Nichols said he “enjoyed bath time” with his own daughter, but “back then, I would just never do anything.”

Nichols has been charged with attempted sexual battery of a child younger than 12, attempted lewd or lascivious conduct, solicitation of a minor via computer, obscene communication and unlawful use of a two-way communication device.
