Bensalem Township officers with assistance from special agents from the FBI’s Fort Washington, Montgomery County resident agency arrested Savino Wednesday around 10 a.m. in the parking lot of the Neshaminy Mall.
Police said Savino arranged a meeting with an 11-year-old girl with the intention of her to performing oral sex. Instead of finding the girl, Savino was met by undercover law enforcement officials.
The meeting was allegedly arranged on an app called Addchat.
