A 59-year-old Darien man thought he was seducing a 14-year-old girl in an online chat app, but he was actually talking with a police detective, according to Greenwich police, who arrested him as part of an online undercover operation. — This article is based on an account by Greenwich police as published by GreenwichFreePress.com (the original version can be found here). The accusations in this account have not been proven in court. Over the course of the investigation David Rewcastle began to steer the conversations toward becoming more sexually explicit in nature. He also began describing sex acts that he wanted to perform on the supposed girl “in real life.”

The investigation culminated with Rewcastle making plans to meet with the “girl” in person in a specific location in Greenwich to carry out these sexual acts.
