SEATAC -- An ice cream vendor is accused of soliciting a 12 year-old girl to expose her chest in exchange for ice cream.

Harpreet S. Tiwana, 42, has been charged with one count of communication with a minor for immoral purposes.

The incident allegedly happened on Sept. 9 around 5:30 p.m. Two young girls were at Angle Lake Park in SeaTac when Tiwana is accused of staring at the girls going in and out of the bathroom. Court documents state the 12-year-old girl asked if there was a problem and Tiwana offered the girls free ice cream, then asked the victim to show him her breast.

The girl told her father, who reported the incident to authorities.

Tiwana told detectives he was innocent. He said the girls had asked for ice cream but didn't pay for it. Tiwana said the 12-year-old offered to show her breast if he would give them free ice cream but he refused.

Tiwana is scheduled for an arraignment on Oct. 24.
