At one point, court documents show, Lundskow stated that he didn´t know the laws for Pennsylvania, but said that he could “probably go to the jail for 20 years“¦but only if I got caught“¦lol.“

“I'm very surprised. There´s a lot of young kids in the area; a very nice neighborhood. We would have never expected this to happen,“ said Casey Trout, who lives across the street from George Lundskow.
On August 21st, police say the man investigators later identified to be George "Nick" Lundskow wrote, "like me to teach you a few things?
The agent wrote, "what?"

During a chat on November 14th police say the agent wrote, "do u think I'm too young"
Lundskow responded, "probably, but I think being with you would be amazingly hot"

The chats later that month and into December are even more graphic. At that time, the agent began working with Yahoo! to identify the user she had been chatting with.
Last month, police say Lundskow sent pornographic pictures of himself to the agent, and engaged in a video chat with what he believed to be the 14-year old girl in which he showed him performing sexual acts.
And now the criminal charges against Lundskow have been filed, he has been arrested, waived extradition, and is expected to be turned over to Pennsylvania authorities.
Anne Arundel County Police Lt. Richard Duvall said Lundskow, who has worked for The Capital for approx 25 years, is being held at the Jennifer Road Detention Center in Annapolis without bail.
