Man, 33, accused of luring 4-year-old on Internet
A Canadian man has been charged in the United States with attempting to arrange a sexual encounter with a four-year-old girl over the Internet and showing up to meet her with a car full of ''devices intended to abuse and entice his victim.''
William Krygsman, 33, of Tillsonburg, Ont., southeast of London, was arrested by FBI officials in Atlanta Saturday after a three-week investigation by a special Internet luring task force.
According to Special Agent Steve Lazarus, an FBI spokesman in Atlanta, a man initiated a conversation via the Internet last month with a woman he believed was the child's mother to arrange a sexual encounter with the little girl.
But he was actually speaking with an undercover FBI agent.
When the man arrived at an Atlanta-area restaurant on Saturday, he was arrested and FBI officials searched his car.
"When an inventory of his vehicle was conducted -- and I'm not going to get into the specifics . . . because it's just kind of gross -- we found a number of articles, materials and devices that were clearly intended to be used to abuse and entice his victim in a sexual manner," Special Agent Lazarus said.
He added the arrest is not considered entrapment because the man "initiated the contact and he was the one who made all the suggestions about how the sexual encounter should go."
Entrapment is defined as inducing someone who is not otherwise predisposed to commit a crime, Special Agent Lazarus said.
"The reason the sting works is because there really is this seedy disgusting underworld where this kind of stuff goes on. People . . . expect to find this because either they've done it before or their buddies have done it before," he said.
Mr. Krygsman is currently listed as president and chief executive of Superior Polymer Systems Inc., a small London, Ont.-based tool and die company.
Officials at the firm could not be reached for comment last night.
"The nature of these crimes, they're very scary," Special Agent Lazarus said. "The Internet . . . provides a very ready access for these predators to find these victims."
Mr. Krygsman appeared before U.S. Magistrate Judge Gerrilyn Brill yesterday and is being held pending a bond hearing scheduled for later this week. He has been charged with using the Internet to arrange illegal sexual activity with a minor. Canadian authorities are not believed to be involved in the investigation.
