Internet seduction case goes to juvenile court
The British man accused of trying to abscond with a 15-year-old Hamilton girl will face criminal charges in Hamilton County Juvenile Court.
Municipal Court Judge Elizabeth Mattingly decided Thursday the case against Ian Waddup should be transferred to juvenile court because the alleged victim still is a minor. It is not uncommon for charges involving delinquency to be remanded to juvenile court.
Mr. Waddup, 37, is charged with interfering with the custody of a child and contributing to the delinquency and unruliness of a child.
Prosecutors say he traveled to Greater Cincinnati to meet a girl he first contacted on the Internet. They say the two exchanged e-mail and communicated in a chat room.
Mr. Waddup has said he flew to Cincinnati in hopes she would return with him to England when she turned 16, the legal marrying age there.
He also faces federal charges because he allegedly made false statements to U.S. immigration officials.
