NOTE: This post describes allegations involving sexual activity with children and may be disturbing for many readers. A Cincinnati man has been charged federally after authorities said he advertised on Craigslist for an underage girl with whom to engage in sexual activity. Kerry Murphy, 45, of Elmwood Place, was arrested during a traffic stop Friday night after federal authorities contacted Cincinnati's branch of the FBI about the ad he is accused of posting. "I'm looking for an open-minded parent who would be interested in bringing their daughter or daughters by for some passionate play," the post began. The post requested a girl as young as 10 or 11 years old. The writer offers to pay more for a mother-daughter pair. According to the complaint, an undercover officer responded to the Craigslist post, posing as a dad interested in introducing Murphy to his daughter. The undercover officer told Murphy that he had a 9-year-old daughter. "Oh I can't wait to be with her. It will be a dream come true," Murphy wrote, according to the complaint. Murphy told the undercover officer that he had been convicted of sexually abusing a 13-year-old girl and was a registered sex offender. The two arranged to meet in Washington, D.C., but later Murphy told the officer he could not afford to go, the complaint says. Murphy also sent the undercover officer six photos of child pornography, the complaint says. Murphy is charged with having child porn. More charges may follow. Murphy appeared in court Monday and requested that he face the child pornography charge in Washington, D.C. He is housed in the Hamilton County Jail, authorities said.
