A Long Island man who designed toys and games for large manufacturers has been picked up by detectives, who said he trolled the Internet looking for sex with minors.

Richard Trincellito, 39, of New Hyde Park, used the AOL IM screen name �Gippetto 1� to try to hook up with kids, according to the Queens D.A.'s Office:

(T)he defendant, on several occasions between November 12 and November 20, 2003, communicated over the internet using the AOL instant message service with the screen name of �Gippetto 1� with an undercover detective posing as a 13-year-old girl and engaged in sexually explicit chat. The defendant is alleged to have sent to the detective instant messages in which he claimed he was 39- years-old and liked younger girls. The charges additionally allege that the defendant sent numerous sexual explicit photographs including one of himself exposing his private parts and others depicting females in various sexual acts. The defendant thereafter set up a meeting for yesterday at the 711 store at 208th Place and Bell Boulevard in Bayside, Queens and was observed by detectives arriving at the proposed meeting site.

The District Attorney said that the defendant was arrested at about 3:20 p.m. in the parking lot outside the 711 store with three condoms in his pants pocket.

The D.A. didn't say what toys he designed.
