Investigators say the father tracked her phone, which led police to a motel in the city’s north end. There, they found the man and the girl in a room.
The investigation revealed that the man and the girl engaged in an online chat back in June. That led to them meeting on four different occasions for sexual encounters.
The 29-year-old faces a number of charges including sexual assault, sexual interference, and luring a person under the age of 14.
The accused made a court appearance on Thursday.
