A Lancaster County man has been arrested and charged with sexually propositioning his estranged 13-year-old daughter on Facebook, officials said today.
The 39-year-old man was one of five alleged Internet predators recently arrested, including an an EMT from Philadelphia who sent nude photos and pornography to what he believed were 13-year old girls, the State Attorney General Tom Corbett announced.

Corbett's office provided the following account of the alleged crime:
The man, who lives in Lititz and had no contact with his daughter for 10 years, located her on Facebook and began sexually propositioning her, calling himself "Bad Daddy."
The man proposed meeting the girl for sex and explained sex acts in graphic detail, telling her, "not many other fathers and daughters are this brave, so not many of them are so lucky to experience all these pleasures."
The girl alerted her mother, who contacted the Ephrata Borough Police Department.
Agents from the Attorney General's Child Predator Unit and Ephrata Police arrested the man when he arrived at a predetermined meeting location on Wednesday.
Agents seized a camera, tripod and an unopened box of condoms from his vehicle, along with a digital camera, camcorder, computers and data storage devices from his home.
The man is charged with one count of unlawful contact with a minor, a first-degree felony punishable by up to 20 years in prison and a $25,000 fine. He also is charged with one count of criminal attempted incest, a second-degree felony that carries a maximum 10-year prison term.
The Philadelphia EMT is identified as Michael E. Quartucci, 27, of 27, the 2500 block of West Girard Ave.
He is charged with sending nude photos and pornography to what he believed were 13-year old girls from Norristown and Pittsburgh but were instead undercover agents using online profiles of children.
He was arrested Sept. 14 and charged with 16 counts of unlawful contact with a minor (related to obscene or sexual materials) and one count of criminal use of a computer, all third-degree felonies each punishable by up to seven years in prison and a $15,000 fine.
