Man arrested for asking teen daughter for sex on facebook

A Pennsylvania father has been arrested for allegedly asking his teen daughter for sex over Facebook. John Forehand, 39, (see picture below) referred to himself as “Bad Daddy” in the online correspondence with his 13 year-old daughter, in which he openly propositioned her and made explicit sexual suggestions, say investigators. Lancaster Online reports that, according to the affidavit, Forehand told his daughter he had been having “inappropriate” dreams about her, and wrote to her, “I'll take very good care of my little girl.” According to the criminal complaint, Forehand proposed meeting the girl for sex and explained in graphic detail the sex acts, telling her “not many other fathers and daughters are this brave, so not many of them are so lucky to experience all these pleasures.” Pennsylvania Attorney General Tom Corbett said the girl told her mother about the inappropriate Facebook messages, and she then alerted the police.
