Guilty in bid to have sex with ‘teen’

- Thomas Tracy

A BROOKLYN MAN has been found guilty of meeting with an undercover cop he believed was a 14-year-old girl who wanted to have sex with him, prosecutor­s said Friday.

Eslam Abdeledaye­m, 33, of Sheepshead Bay, Brooklyn, was convicted in Queens Criminal Court on Thursday.

Prosecutor­s said Abdeledaye­m reached out a person he thought was a 14-year-old Queens girl.

Abdeledaye­m started instant messaging the undercover officer in May 2014 and they began texting after that.

Those texts soon turned sexually explicit — with Abdeledaye­m sending a picture of his genitals, according to court papers.

The two agreed to meet in Queens on June 11, 2014. When Abdeledaye­m showed up, he was arrested by the officer.
