(Michigan City, IN) - A Michigan City man seemingly attempted to act on a desire to have a baby with a 14-year-old girl, which is only a portion of the picture drawn by the criminal allegations leveled against Daniel Pasco.

 

Pasco, 42, has been charged in La Porte Superior Court 1 with two counts of Child Molestation.

 

According to court documents, he and the girl’s mother met on a Facebook dating site, which ultimately led to the three staying in local motels together several months later as a result of the woman being evicted from her roach-infested residence on the north end of Michigan City.

 

The girl reportedly told investigators that Pasco fondled her on several occasions, as well as tried to persuade her to have sex with him because her mother couldn't become pregnant and, as a result, he wanted a child from her. On top of this, she also alleged that Pasco requested to have sex with her and her mother together several times.

 

The most serious charge alleges that all three involved were undressed in bed when Pasco engaged in intercourse with the girl after removing her birth control patch.

 

During police questioning, the woman said her son was staying elsewhere after the eviction, but she didn’t want to leave her daughter alone with him because he’s a registered sex offender. She also told investigators that her daughter reads at the level of a kindergarten student and has a speech impediment. 

 

Pasco could face anywhere from a 20-year to a more than 50-year sentence.
