NAUGATUCK, Conn. — Naugatuck police have arrested a petty officer in the Navy and charged him with trying to set up a sexual encounter with someone he thought was a 14-year-old girl.

Police say Justin Williams, 24, who is stationed in Newport, R.I., has been charged with criminal attempt at risk of injury to a minor, criminal attempt at second-degree sexual assault and use of a computer to entice a minor to engage in sexual activity.

Naugatuck police had help with the investigation from Perverted Justice, a volunteer organization that targets predators.

Naugatuck Lt. Robert Harrison said his department conducted the investigation because an officer there who specializes in such cases made contact with Williams in a chat room.

“He wanted to have a sexual encounter with what he thought was a 14-year-old girl,” Harrison said. “He drove from Rhode Island to Connecticut thinking he was going to meet her.”
