La Porte Man Accused in Online Child Sex Sting

(Portage, IN) - A La Porte man showed up to meet who he thought was a 13 year old girl, but he was intercepted by police.

 

Matthew Okrzesik, 41, allegedly went to a home in Portage.

 

He was under the impression the person he chatted with online and sent a nude photo of himself to was a 13 year old girl, police said. 

 

He allegedly went to the door Wednesday night with a bag containing a sex toy, other sex related items and marijuana cigarettes.  Police said law enforcement was waiting, though, and led him away in handcuffs.

 

He’s facing charges of child solicitation and possession of marijuana.
