Police: Westmoreland man tried to buy a girl from her mother

An Allegheny Township, Westmoreland County man is accused of offering to purchase a 6-year-old girl from her mother.

According to a criminal complaint, Magee touched the girl inappropriately while watching her overnight last March.

The man is charged with a half-dozen felonies.
