CLEVELAND, Ohio — A Hampton, Virginia sex offender faces federal
charges in Cleveland after flying here to have sex with what he believed
to be a 14-year-old girl, according to a criminal complaint.
David Lee Boesen, 33, had months of sexually-explicit chats with what
turned out to be an investigator from the Ohio Internet Crimes Against
Children Task Force. He also sent packages of candy, lingerie, stuffed
animals and toys as gifts for a 14-year-old at a Brook Park address he
got from the investigators, the complaint says.
Boesen told the investigator at one point that he believes a girl as
young as 12 should be able to have sex with whoever they want.
"A 12 year old can say yes or no," Boesen said, according to the complaint. "That's why I hate today's society."
