July 14, 2007 - A teenager wanted for allegedly trying to sexually assault a 7-year-old girl in Queens turned himself in Friday night.
Dillon Fattori, 18, was arrested Saturday on charges of attempted criminal sex abuse of a child, and endangering the welfare of a child.
'The defendant is accused of luring a young child off of a public street during daylight hours in order to molest her,' said Queens District Attorney Richard Brown in a statement. 'Such an allegation makes the defendant a threat to children and a clear and present danger to society. The charges will be vigorously prosecuted.'
Police say the girl was riding her scooter last Friday night in Bayside when Fattori pulled her off it and took her into a backyard.
Police say a neighbor became suspicious when a dog began barking. Fattori ran off when the neighbor screamed, say police.
If convicted, Fattori faces up to 15 years in prison."
