DA: Burglary Brings Illegal Sex to Light
By The Associated Press
September 4, 2003, 5:01 PM EDT
WHITE PLAINS, N.Y. -- An out-of-place teddy bear helped police and prosecutors track down a man who allegedly had sex with a 13-year-old girl after months of online conversation, Westchester District Attorney Jeanine Pirro said Thursday.
Ricardo Brice, 20, of Central Islip, was arrested Wednesday night at his home and was arraigned Thursday in Village Court in Ossining, where the girl lived. He was charged with statutory rape and sodomy for a July encounter with the girl and he was charged with burglary for a break-in at her home last month.
After his arraignment -- Brice did not yet have a lawyer and no plea was entered -- Brice was ordered held without bail at the Westchester County Jail.
The girl's mother, who did not know about her daughter's involvement with Brice, came home from work Aug. 18 and saw that a screen had been cut, some flowerpots overturned -- and a teddy bear in her daughter's room had been moved. The girl was away, spending the week with her father.
Nothing had been taken, but the burglar's presence in the girl's room "alerted the police that this might have something to do with the child," Pirro said. She said she believes the man wanted to have sex again.
The girl was questioned and divulged that she and the man had sex in July -- illegal because of her age -- and that she communicated with him online, using his screen names of "thugstizo" and "pimpsslow."
The district attorney's high-tech crimes unit assumed the girl's identity online, mimicking "her way of speaking, the way she types, how she might respond to a question" to find the suspect, Pirro said. Then they were able to trace his messages to his home computer and discover his identity, she said.
Ossining police Lt. William Sullivan said that with the help of the Suffolk County Police Department, officers obtained a search warrant and seized some material from Brice's home. Pirro would not discuss the material.
"This is another example of how pedophiles use the Internet to make contact with our children," Pirro said. "They are not just communicating indecent materials to them or arranging to meet with them, they are actually raping and sodomizing these kids."
