Philadelphia police are looking into whether a man who died after crashing into multiple cars in Northeast Philly was assaulted.

Francisco Rosario, 53, died Tuesday morning after crashing his truck. Police say Rosario hit a tree on Castor Avenue. He then drove off, struck seven parked cars, and drove another mile before stopping, getting out of his truck, and collapsing. His daughter, Elizabeth, said they've seen surveillance video showing a car pulling up to his truck and a group of people getting out and arguing with him. She says one of the people punched him.

He was chatting online with a teen girl, and planned to meet her at a hotel in Cherry Hill. Problem for him: the 14-year-old was actually an undercover detective. And now the guy's charged with attempted sexual assault of a child.

That's what Camden County Prosecutors say of their investigation into 51-year-old Michael Marchionese. They accuse the Pine Hill man of asking the girl for nude pictures. That would be a first-degree crime: attempted manufacturing of child sexual abuse material. Marchionese is also charged with attempted luring and attempted endangering the welfare of a child.

He was arrested by U.S. Marshals and is being held in Camden County Jail. A court hearing is set for January.

A man accused of raping a 15-year-old in Center City last year pleaded guilty in a negotiated deal with prosecutors Friday morning.

Derrick Henry, 35, admitted to assaulting the girl last November near Jeweler’s Row, around Eighth and Chestnut streets.

He pleaded guilty to a single offense of indecent sexual deviant intercourse for a person under 16 — the rest of the charges, including rape, sexual assault and corruption of a minor, were all dropped.

Henry was sentenced to 6 to 12 years in prison.
