Buckingham Twp. Man Awaits Trial In Sex Trafficking Of 13-Year-Old Girl

BUCKS COUNTY, PA ? A Kentucky man has been extradited to Bucks County and charged in the sex trafficking of a 13-year-old girl while a Buckingham Township man awaits trial in the case, authorities said.

Zachary Lee McCauley, 29, of Louisville, KY., was formally arraigned Tuesday night on numerous sex trafficking charges. He is being held on $10 million bail in Bucks County Prison, authorities said.

A preliminary hearing has been scheduled for July 31, the Bucks County District Attorney's Office said.

Jon Thomas Van Ingen, 67, of Buckingham Township awaits trial on statutory sexual assault charges.

The charges against McCauley include one count each of trafficking in individuals, corruption of minors, unlawful contact with a minor, sexual abuse of children, and criminal use of a communication facility.

McCauley also faces three counts each of sexual exploitation of children, solicitation to commit statutory sexual assault, solicitation to commit involuntary deviate sexual intercourse, solicitation to commit patronizing victim of sexual servitude, solicitation to commit aggravated indecent assault, and solicitation to commit sexual abuse of children.

The charges stem from an investigation that found that McCauley groomed and coerced the victim into sexual encounters with two adult men in October 2024, authorities said.

Authorities said at least one of the encounters was video recorded via Snapchat.

McCauley allegedly arranged these encounters by communicating with multiple men through an online dating site.

Randy Francis Quinn, 42, of Coopersburg, also awaits trial. He is charged with two counts of statutory sexual assault, photographing or filming a child sex act, and dissemination of photos or film of child sex acts.

The investigation began in February 2025 after the 13-year-old victim communicated with an individual on Snapchat who identified himself as "Jake," later identified as McCauley. McCauley allegedly solicited sexually explicit photos and videos from the victim and later coerced her into creating a fake online dating profile to arrange sexual encounters with men, authorities said.
