A 31-year-old Staten Island man faces multiple charges after he was arrested May 10 when he thought he was meeting a 13-year-old girl at a township coffee shop for a rendezvous that would lead to sex.

Thomas McKernan was arrested at about 11:35 a.m. at the unnamed Cedar Grove Lane shop, following a month-long investigation that involved explicit online chats with the “girl,” who was actually an undercover police officer, according to a press release from the Somerset County Prosecutor’s Office.
