Under one theory, when a parent has created and fostered a relationship between her biological child and significant-other, it can create some rights in your child to have a continuing relationship with the other adult. This would be based on the theory that children need long-term, stable relationships to fully prosper; or in the alternative, that it would psychologically damage your child to lose an important, almost parental relationship. This all depends on the type of relationship they previously had.
On the other hand, your ex is in jail. Now, depending on what he did and how long he'll be in jail, it seems like you could argue that visiting him would create an emotional burden on your daughter, so that it would do more damage than good. In addition, there are a lot of time constraints with traveling and checking in at the jail, which isn't practical if you have any life at all. Last, maybe he just wants her to visit because 1) he's bored and 2) wants to inconvenience you.
btw, if you want to google it, look up "equitable parent," and narrow it by pennsylvania law.

He is not the Biological Father... so no he cannot have visitation rights because he has no rights to the child.

No rights at all! Tell the DA he is attempting contact with a minor female unrelated to him.

no he has no legal rights, he is not her biological nor her step father.
if she is 12 and if she wants to see him, you might consider it rather than allow him to drive a wedge between you and her.

She is a minor and you are the parent. No way except your wishes.

He doesn't have a leg to stand on. He's blowing smoke.
