The Brooklyn District Attorney's office recently nabbed a Woodhaven man who worked as a refrigerator mechanic for trying to solicit sex from an undercover police detective.
28-year-old Martin Rilling, who resided at 86-56 85th St., allegedly engaged in online conversations with an investigator from the Brooklyn D.A.'s Cyber Predators Unit, who posed as a 14-year-old girl.
Using the screen name "irefmech11385" - which referenced his profession - the suspect took part in numerous electronic exchanges with the cop, including online instant message chats. The interactions reportedly took place between May 2006 and January 2007.
At different points, Rilling reportedly gave the detective instructions on how to masturbate, and twice sent her sexually-explicit photographs of himself.
According to Brooklyn District Attorney Charles Hynes' office, which nabbed the would-be sex predator before he could spread more unsavory cyber-smut, the suspect faces up to 20 years in prison if convicted of various charges.
An employee in nearby Glendale, he was indicted last Friday on five counts of Attempted Disseminating Indecent Materials to Minors in the First Degree, as well as nine counts of Attempted Endangering the Welfare of a Child.
