Richard Williamson, 69, of Sewell, Daniel Henderson Jr., 38, of Lindenwold, Gilbert Wylen, 69, of Audubon, and Theodore Haviland, 52, of Woodbury Heights face a number of charges, including attempting to lure a child and attempted sexual assault of a minor, among other charges.
Authorities say their arrests are the result of investigations that were conducted in March and June of this year.
Investigators said the four defendants were communicating online with a person they believed to be an underage girl. However, the person actually chatting with them was an undercover detective from the Camden County Prosecutor's Office High Tech Crimes Unit.
During their individual conversations, and in four separate instances, officials say the men each arranged a meeting at a specified location in Brooklawn, New Jersey, for the purpose of engaging in sexual activity with the underage girl.
Additionally, police say Williamson, Henderson and Wylen each told the underage girl they would pay amounts of money ranging from $80 to $200 to engage in sexual activity with her.
Once each man arrived at the meeting location, authorities say they were taken into custody by members of the Brooklawn Borough Police Department and the Camden County Prosecutor's Office.
Williamson and Henderson were arrested on March 13, 2026. Wylen and Haviland were arrested on June 23, 2026.
They are all being held at the Camden County Correctional Facility.
