Franklin A. DeCapua - Repeat Sex Offender - Child Predator


A Rochester man has been arrested on several child pornography charges.

On Thursday, the New York State Police arrested Franklin A. DeCapua, 33, for the use of a child in a sexual performance, two counts of promoting an obscene sexual performance by a child, and disseminating indecent material to minors.

All of these charges are felonies.

The investigation began in January when DeCapua tried to lure a 12-year-old Nebraska girl over the Internet, and discussed plans to travel to Nebraska.

Both DeCapua and the girl sent obscene images to each other.

DeCapua also asked a 13-year-old Nebraska girl to send him sexual images of herself.

He is a registered sex offender, and has previously been convicted of sexual abuse.
