A Lawrenceville, New Jersey man pleaded guilty earlier this month to soliciting sex acts and nude photos from six underage girls throughout Lower Bucks County.
Adam Carnevale, 28, pleaded guilty to charges including multiple counts of unlawful contact with a minor, indecent sexual assault of a person under the age of 16, child pornography and related offenses. Judge Jeffery Finley sentenced Carnevale to 15 to 30 years in state prison.

Carnevale was accused by police of requesting a female acquaintance convince her cousin or a young underage girl to perform sex acts on him. The woman reported the 28 year old to police and a probe into the allegations was launched.
As the investigation progressed, police discovered several victims of Carnevale’s advances were listed in his phone’s data.
A search by police showed Carnevale’s iPhone had 14 photographs and one video of a 13-year-old Bensalem girl performing sex acts on herself. The girl told investigators she met Carnevale on an app when he started randomly messaging her, according to court papers. The girl said she “chickened out” after Carnevale offered to pay her to meet up.

Some of the teens performed sex acts with Carnevale. In one case, Carnevale allegedly threaten to put the 15-year-old’s nude photos online if she did not perform oral sex on him or “get naked,” according to court papers.
Many victims sent Carnevale naked images of themselves, court papers state.

Police said Carnevale taped some of the sexual encounters with the girls.
The teenage victims were from Bensalem, Bristol Township, Falls and Middletown. Many even knew each other, police said.
Sexual encounters took place in a church parking lot in Falls, a neighborhood in Bristol Township and at Carnevale’s home in New Jersey, according to court papers.

In many of the cases, Carnevale offered to set the girls up with older guys who would pay “more money” for sex, police said. He also asked some of the girls if they had young friends looking to make money.
Carnevale was arrested last year at his job in Hamilton, New Jersey.
