Miguel Matias pleaded guilty Friday to second-degree murder in a Bronx court for the murder of his 14-year old daughter Ana Matias. The New York City resident admitted he murdered his daughter -- who was pregnant with his baby -- and he hid her body in his apartment building's basement boiler.

Last February, police found Ana's lifeless body after Matias telephoned the NYPD dispatcher and confessed what he had done.

Police officers and detectives discovered the body and when they questioned Matias he claimed the reason for the killing was that he caught his daughter typing what he termed "sex things" on her computer.

An investigation by homicide detectives revealed that the teenager was pregnant and a paternity test confirmed Matias impregnated his own daughter. Mattias faces 25 years to life in prison and he's being held until sentencing.

In another sex crimes case, John Forehand, of Lititz, Pennsylvania, was arrested for allegedly using a popular social networking web site to proposition his own biological daughter to have sex with him. Forehand used the screen name "Bad Daddy."

According to police officials, Forehand suggested that the 13-year old girl meet him in order to have  sexual relations and he described what sex acts he wished to perform on her.

According to police officials, the girl alerted her mother, who contacted the Ephrata Borough Police Department.

The state government's Child Predator Unit and Ephrata Police arrested Forehand when he arrived to meet his daughter on October 7. The waiting police officers confiscated Forelan's camera, tripod and an unopened box of condoms. They also discovered a digital camera, camcorder, and computers at Forehand's home. 

The suspect faces numerous sex crimes charges and the judge set his bail at $400,000.
