"In the disturbing text messages, Verity can be seen reaching out to the organization's onine decoy in early October. Verity started flirting with the decoy, who told him she was in middle school - even though she was a 29-year-old group member using AI to make herself appear younger, the messages revealed. "You're very cute," Verity told the girl through Kik, a popular messenger and social media app, according to the documents."
"In under an hour, the pair moved the conversation to Snapchat - where Verity began getting overtly sexual with the decoy, asking for nude photos, trying to arrange a meet up for sex, and telling her he was in a relationship already but that won't stop him from being with her, the messages read. "You're prettier anyway - I'd make sure you got the same attention," Verity told the teen about his wife, who is also an elementary teacher in the same district."
Mark Verity, 37, was charged with trying to send sexual messages to a minor and attempting to involve the child in a sex act. Verity was a music teacher at Wading River Elementary School and a married father of two. Predator Poachers Long Island ran a sting using a 29-year-old decoy who used AI to appear younger and posed as a middle-school girl. Chat logs show Verity contacting the decoy on Kik, moving to Snapchat, requesting nude photos, asking about sexual experience and cup size, and attempting to arrange a sexual meetup. Seventy-six pages of chat logs were obtained and Verity is now suspended.
