"Amy,"
Shams asked, "what is ur body like?"1 "Amy" answered, "I stay in shape. . im only 13 so im in good
shape." After Shams provided a description of himself, he and "Amy" began to discuss various sex
acts and the extent of "Amy's" sexual experience. "Amy" explained that she was inexperienced, but
said she was interested in meeting Shams for sex. They discussed where and when a meeting could
take place, but the chat session ended without any firm plans being made.
Torsiello next logged on as "Amy" on June 23, 2003. Once again, Shams contacted
"Amy" by instant messaging. The conversation quickly turned to sex, with Shams describing how
he and "Amy" could perform oral sex with each other. "Amy" asked, "would u take it real slow and
ez with me . . cuz I havnet." Shams said he would and asked "Amy" her age. When she replied, "u
don't remember??" he answered, "18 I think???" "Amy" responded, "im13." Later in the
conversation, Shams told "Amy" that he was twenty-seven. She replied, "well u no im 13 . . ." and
then added, "is that ok." Shams said, "that is fine with me." Shams gave "Amy" a link to a
photograph he said was him. The photograph was of a man wearing only briefs and with a visible
erection. "Amy," in turn, gave Shams a link to a photograph of a fully clothed thirteen-year-old girl,
who was the daughter of one of Torsiello's colleagues. Shams told "Amy" she was pretty and said,
"I wish I could lick your pussy today." "Amy" told Shams that her eighteen-year-old sister would
be able to give her a ride to a nearby grocery store on the following Wednesday, with "Amy" using
the excuse that she was meeting friends. The meeting was arranged, but Shams did not keep the
appointment.

"Amy" returned to the chat room on July 10, 2003. When contacted by Shams,
"Amy" complained that he had been lying to her about his picture and meeting her. Shams assured
"Amy" that he was "a good looking guy" and said he "would love to pleasure ur pussy and ass."
They agreed to meet that afternoon at some softball fields. "Amy" told Shams what she would be
