A Camden County truck driver was arrested in Mount Laurel Wednesday as he arrived for what he expected would be a rendezvous for sex with a woman and her underage daughter.

Jesse M. Kopala, 39, of Stratford, had exchanged messages online with a detective he believed was the mother of a young girl. In a series of communications with the detective from the Burlington County Prosecutor's Office's High-Tech Crimes Unit, Kopala said he wanted to have sex with the daughter and asked the woman to participate, too, said Joel Bewley, spokesman for the prosecutor's office.

Kopala was arrested when he showed up at the prearranged location. He was being held Thursday at the Burlington County jail after failing to post $75,000 bail.
