AYER, Mass. (AP) - A 32-year-old Virginia man has been arrested
after authorities said he enticed a 12-year-old girl to run away
and planned to sexually assault her and post nude pictures on the
Internet.

Daniel O'Brien of Richmond pleaded not guilty Monday to
attempted kidnapping and child endangerment. He was ordered held on
$50,000 cash bail.

Prosecutors say the girl's parents became suspicious Friday when
she filled her backpack with extra clothes and money. A check of
their computer revealed the suspect had offered to help the girl
run away while chatting with her through a wish-maker's Web site.

Her parents alerted authorities. FBI agents and Littleton police
arrested O'Brien on Friday when he arrived at Littleton Train
Station.

O'Brien does not yet have an attorney. A telephone listing for
him could not be located.
