In August, while the victim was out of town, Koch messaged the victim "good morning my love, I hope you slept well. I miss you more and more every second, I hate not seeing your beautiful face. I hope you're having so much fun." She is wearing a low-cut shirt in a photo sent with the message, according to Segura. In another image Koch allegedly sent to the victim a day later, she is posing in a mirror wearing a sweater belonging to the victim.
In other writings, Koch talks about her love for the child and having a sleepover at the adult's house in the 100 block of Long Lane in Jersey Shore.
Koch told a witness the child was beautiful, Segura said. "I don't look at her that way, if she was old yes," Koch allegedly told the woman.
The victim admitted she spent the night with Koch. She described falling asleep in Koch's arms. One of the girl's parents also found a vape that Koch allegedly purchased for the 13-year-old victim, and said that Koch made comments like, "If (victim) wasn't 13 years old, she would be my type."
