Dentist allegedly flew 2K miles to have sex with mom, her 9-year-old daughter

A Colorado dentist allegedly flew nearly 2,000 miles to Florida to have sex with a single mom and her 9-year-old daughter after drooling: “I would sooo love to be a part of that.”

Dr. Jason James Atha, 50, had child porn and sex paraphernalia on him when he was nabbed last Friday after flying for the planned hookup in West Palm Beach, federal prosecutors said.

Atha had been grooming the mom — who was actually an undercover agent — on an online chatroom since last October after she posted that she would give her elementary-age daughter sex toys during playtime, according to a federal indictment obtained by the Palm Beach Post.

“That’s a beautiful thing,” Atha is alleged to have replied. “I would sooo love to be a part of that.”

In other messages, the dentist also allegedly wrote, “I would love to find mother daughter to play with.”

The pair went on to exchange a slew of graphic and sexually explicit messages over the following months before Atha started planning the meet-up to have sex with the mother-daughter duo, the feds said.

Atha, who works at the Alpine Dentistry in Boulder, Colo., asked the mom to dress her daughter in “something not all that age appropriate” and have her wear makeup for the encounter, the complaint charges.

He then booked his flights and planned to spend last weekend in West Palm Beach, according to the feds.

The dentist was cuffed after landing at the airport.

Atha was charged with attempted enticement of a minor over the ordeal and faces life in prison if convicted.
