 A 64-year-old father-of-two, Mark Andrew Nichols was arrested on Saturday after he travelled over 1,000 miles to have sex with a nine-year-old girl, in a sick rape plot

The Texas man drove from his home in Austin to an address in Orlando, Florida, where he was caught with two packets of sweets and a bottle of lubricant.

According to Orlando Police, the 64-year-old had responded to a fake website ad created by undercover detectives posing as parents wanting to “learn new things about raising little ones”.

The ad was a deliberate plot to encourage potential predators to take the bait.

Police said in the conversation with a detective posing as the parents of a nine-year-old, Mr. Nichols asked to have sex with the 9-year-old and discussed his plans to do so in detail.

The 64-year-old who is married with two kids is also said to have sent sexually explicit messages to a person he believed to be the girl, describing the sex acts that he planned to perform with the child.
