Father finds Christopher Todd 42, hiding in
his closet after he came over to have sex with his 12-year-old daughter
After coming home,
the father periodically checked on the youngster to see if she was okay. He
discovered Leonard after opening the closet to get a change of clothes, and was
stunned on realizing what the alleged pedophile had planned for his child.
The
unidentified dad said he found 42-year-old Christopher Todd Leonard (pictured
above) shirtless in the closet of his Texas home on November 2, 2018, while
getting ready for work around 5.30am.
Leonard,
who was not aggressive, told the father that the girl invited him over to their
home. He claimed he thought the girl was 21. But the girl said the man was
aware of her real age .According to KPRC, Leonard said he had been talking to
the girl through Facebook and Instagram.
The
12-year-old told authorities that she had met Leonard while using public
transportation a few weeks prior to the incident. She said he gave her his
phone number and they contacted each other through texts and phone calls.When
authorities looked through Leonard's phone, they also found sexually explicit
messages that he had sent to the girl.
The
girl's father told KPRC: "The man literally brainwashed her.
"Knowing
this guy could have done something to my daughter and then knowing that I had
another daughter that he could have done something to, it really affected me,
and my family as well."Police has issued a warrant for Leonard's arrest.
He has been charged with online solicitation of a minor.
