Authorities in Lancaster County, Pennsylvania arrested 39-year-old John Christopher Forehand last week for allegedly using the social networking Web site Facebook to locate and sexually proposition his estranged 13-year-old biological daughter.
According to the criminal complaint, Forehand, using the name “Bad Daddy,” recently contacted his daughter and told her that he had been having “inappropriate” dreams about her. He graphically described a variety of sexual acts and proposed meeting her for sex, allegedly telling her, “Not many other fathers and daughters are this brave, so not many of them are so lucky to experience all these pleasures.”
Police say the girl did not fully understand everything Forehand was saying to her and that it was not until she looked up the meaning of some of the words that he used that she realized what he was asking; at that point, she reported the situation to her mother, who, in turn, contacted the Ephrata Borough Police Department.
On Oct. 6, an agent with the state Child Predator Unit took over the girl’s email account, during which time Forehand allegedly sent multiple messages, urging his daughter to meet him for a sexual liaison. Posing as the girl, the agent agreed to a meeting with Forehand.
“I’ll take very good care of my little girl,” Forehand wrote, according to the affidavit.
The following day, agents from the Child Predator Unit and Ephrata Police arrested Forehand when he arrived at a predetermined meeting place. During a search of Forehand’s vehicle, authorities seized a camera, tripod and box of condoms. A second search, conducted at his home Lititz, resulted in the seizure of several additional items, including a digital camera, a camcorder and computers. Those items are currently being analyzed by the Attorney General’s Computer Forensics Unit.
According to the Pennsylvania attorney general’s office, Forehand has been 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, one count of criminal attempted incest and one count of unlawful contact with a minor, both second degree felonies, each of which is punishable by up to ten years in prison and a $25,000 fine, along with one count of criminal use of a computer, a third-degree felony which is punishable by up to seven years in prison and a $15,000 fine.
Forehand has been committed to prison in lieu of $400,000 straight bail – meaning the full amount of the bail would have to be paid in cash. There is no word yet on when Forehand’s preliminary hearing will be held.
In an Oct. 9 press release, Tom Corbett, the Pennsylvania attorney general, announced John Forehand’s arrest and warned parents to be wary of sexual predators.
“Parents need to understand that Internet predators are active in every part of our state – using online chat rooms, social networking sites, instant messages, digital cameras, webcams and other technology to reach into your homes – sending sexually graphic material to your kids, encouraging teens to send nude photos of themselves or trying to arrange meetings for sex,” Corbett said.
Corbett encouraged parents to regularly discuss online safety with their children, and he offered several tips having to do with actively monitoring how children use the Internet, including:
>Being aware of which Web sites they visit.
>Knowing which social networking sites they frequent (MySpace, Facebook, etc).
>Teaching them the importance of not sharing personal information with strangers (names, ages, addresses, schools or other identifying information).
>Warning them to avoid strangers who approach them online.
>Making sure they know to report any contact with individuals who engage in sexual discussions or who attempt to send graphic photos or videos.

I wonder what kind of a winner the mom is that she was in a relationship with this guy at one point, and had a kid with him. Something tells me this kid is in trouble either way. If this is Mom’s type, no stepdad is going to be all that great either.
ewwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwww
It amazes me how stupid people are, to think they can do this and get away with it. Every time you use your phone or computer you leave behind an electronic trail, you dumbasses. Maybe the authorities won’t get you right away, but they’ll get you sooner or later.
I thought that was legal in West Virginia?
This is PA, but not too far off.
To-Charlie- it isnt fair to say that about her mother. My daughters father beat her when she was 4 months old. He was a sheep if wolves clothing. He seemed perfect until I had my daughter. Then all of a sudden he went crazy. I moved my daughter and I out and havnt looked back since. Does me being wih her father make me a bad mother? no. Does leaving him and protecting my daughter make me a good mother? damn right it does. Its not like this woman sent her daughter to go have sex with the father, she protected her daughter and called the police. With that being said, its not fair to judge her or think you can predict how a woman is just because of the man and his choices, or how he turns out to be. Men like this guy and my daughters father are good at hiding who they really are. Everyone is entitled to their own opinion, but your assumption is rather rude.
Really Charlie? Maybe Mom didn’t know this guy was like that until after the relationship. Perhaps that’s the reason he’s her EX. More importantly, perhaps that’s the reason she has custody of the child and he’s the ESTRANGED father. I only hope that 1 – he stays in prison for a long time, 2- someone is available to help this young girl – because she’s going to be hurting, and 3 – sorry, can’t type what I wish would happen to this man – too graphic. What a pig he is.
@ Kristi, you are exactly right! In fact, PA is the new WV now… absolute pure trailer trash in PA! Especially philthydelphia!
Statistically speaking, Charlie is probably right. It’s not 100% accurate, but odds our that it’s true. People often go to the sames types of people, so nothing that Charlie said isn’t true. Someone who has dated a sleazeball is likely to always date sleazeballs, so odds are really high that any “father figure” this kid gets is a sleazeball. Probably not fair to assume that this is the case, but odds are that it is.
Jersygrl, you’re correct about the electronic trail, but it’s disturbing that that’s what you choose to get from this. Better not solicit online or you might get caught! Wow.
I truly feel that rapists and child molesters like this should be bent over in a public square and raped with a baseball bat dipped in glue and broken glass (like van dammes knuckles in kick boxer).
Trust me Chris, if the people in whatever prison he went to find out about this, he’ll be destroyed. In prison, pedophiles are the lowest of the low. It’s such a problem that they regularly have to be taken out of isolation so they don’t get murdered. Which is, of course, too good for them.
Nope, I’m sorry, but you are wrong. Just because a woman makes a bad choice once, or a man turns on her and becomes something she never expected does not mean she’s a lousy mom. Let’s keep the blame squarely on the shoulders it belongs on, this scumbag of a males. I think it’s quite telling that it’s MEN on here who want to shift the blame, at least partially, somehow, to the mother. I’d love to know what secrets these dbags have in their own closets.
Wow, that Pennsylvania attorney general, Tom Corbett, is just…epically stupid. I mean maybe if he had TEENAGERS I could follow the logic a ~little~ bit, but CHILDREN?! No, I’m sorry, but children have no business at all being on the Internet and there’s *NO* plausible reason as to why a child would ever ~need~ to be on the Internet. There are no shortage of OFFLINE games, learning software, encyclopedias, etc, etc. The Internet is *NOT* a safe place, even on supposedly “safe sites” they’re still subject to hacking shenanigans, which could wind up redirecting yer darling little daughter from the Dora Explorer site on over the Dolcett archive fetish site!
His name is FOREHAND?!?!?!?!?!?!?!!!! LOLOLOLOLOL!!!
He’ll need full use of that where he’s headed! LOLOLOL What a fucking loser!
What a total P O S.
fucking sicko people like that need to be castrated and then shot
i hope he gets the full treatment in prison
and i hope he gets the full treatment in hell too!!!
My daddie just cut the crap. Literally. He went poopie on a plate for a snack. He just took a knife and fork and feed me a delicious corn laden morsel.
How in the hell would you explain this in court.. “Well, …you see…what had happend was …uhm.”
Pedophiles are in protective custody in prison. The main prison population does not mix with them. They are in with other sex criminals and high profile gang murders.
Just wanted to let the first responder, Charlie, know that it’s not the mothers fault.. anyone can be a pedophile even the military’s “finest”.. I know from personal experience. I also know of another lawyer who was a pedophile!! These monsters come in all different shapes and sizes and backgrounds so to say about the mother is offensive to myself and other mothers who have been fooled by these “good” men!
poopinator – wtf, I know you are trying to get people to look at your fucked up little website but don’t you think posting it here is inapprorpiate? Oh wait, you wouldn’t know what that means
I agree with some people. You can never predict who someone is. No one tells their wives openly they’re pedophiles, people. Some people hide less important things so well, why wouldn’t they hide something this big?
Besides, being a pedophile doesn’t mean he acted “trashly”, he may be the most eloquent and polite man in the world and fool anyone who’s talking to him he’s a nice guy. It’s not a great mistery, you know.
Loving the information on this website , you have done great job on the blog posts.
It’s an ol’ sayin’ in Wes’ Virginny…”If ya kent keep it in yer pants…keep it in da famlee!!” Let’s hope he is kept locked up for awhile.
