CANONSBURG, Washington County-- A Lawrence County man is in the Washington County Jail after undercover police arrested him in a child predator sting operation in Cannonsburg on Tuesday. The Canonsburg District Justice's office confirms to TR News that 69 year Leroy Maloni from the New Wilmington area was arrested after attempting to meet who he believed to be underage girl he talked to in an online chatroom. The fictitious girl was Special Agent David Frattare, a member of the Pennsylvania Attorney General's Child Predator Unit. Maloni was arraigned before the local district judge on charges of attempted unlawful contact with a minor in relation to sexual offenses, unlawful contact with a minor and criminal use of a communication facility. He is in Washington County Jail pending a $50,000 bond. Maloni was also ordered to undergo a behavioral clinic analysis and prohibited from using the Internet or having any unsupervised contact with minors. A preliminary hearing is scheduled for June 24. Pennsylvania Attorney General Tom Corbett says Maloni is the 147th arrest by his special child predator unit since it was created in 2005. He warns that children are the targets of sexual predators who stalk the Internet. "Predators will always be drawn to locations that give them the greatest access to the largest number of potential victims," Corbett said. "Today, they stalk a variety of online sites, including chat rooms; social networking websites like MySpace and Facebook; Internet message boards; video game sites; and even online classified ads on Craigslist.com."
