CAMDEN - A Montgomery County undertaker accused of molesting a 14-year-old South Jersey boy pleaded guilty today to crossing state lines to have sex with a minor.
Charles F. Murray, 48, of Ambler, who worked as an embalmer for a Flourtown funeral home, admitted in court that he met the boy in an Internet chat room last summer and lured him to a sexual rendezvous in Logan Township, Gloucester County.
In entering a guilty plea in U.S. D
strict Court, Murray said he had twice arranged to meet the boy at a Logan convenience store, then drove him to a nearby industrial park, where they engaged in a sex act.
Murray, a licensed funeral h
ome
director, was arrested in July after the father of the boy alerted Log
an police that his son might have had sex with Murray.
U.S. District Judge Joseph Irenas scheduled sentencing for July 9. Under federal guidelines, Murray will likely face a sentence of more than five years in prison, said Assistant U.S. Attorney Diana Carrig.
According to Carrig, when authorities searched Murray's home computer, they also found "the most explicit and graphic kind" of child pornography.
