LAKE COUNTY, Fla. -- A captain of a North Carolina fire department was arrested in Central Florida on charges of traveling to have sex with who he thought was a woman and her 7-year-old daughter, Lake County sheriff's deputies said.
Mark Farwell, 38, a captain with Department of Defense fire department in Goldsboro, N.C., faces a charge of traveling to meet a minor and five counts of prohibited uses of a computer.
According to the Lake County Sheriff's Office, detectives in January were working undercover in a Yahoo! chat room posing as a woman with a 7-year-old daughter and began a dialogue with Farwell. Over the next 10 months, Farwell talked to the undercover detectives on the Internet and over the phone, deputies said.
Farwell talked in explicit detail about having sexual contact with the woman and her daughter, Lake County sheriff's deputies said.
Farwell traveled to Ocala to visit his parents and arranged to meet with someone he thought was the woman to have sex, deputies said. He traveled to Lake County on Sunday and was arrested by detectives, according to the sheriff's office.
Here we have another proven account of the REAL dangers to the public at large. It isn't the people that are on the registry that need to be feared, it is the ones that you 'trust', the ones that you would have never imagined hurting another. Well here you have it folks, the real threat.
