HARRISBURG, PA - The Attorney General's Child Predator Unit arrested a Camp Hill State Correctional Institution CO for sending sexually graphic videos over the internet to what he thought was a 13-year-old girl, but was actually an undercover agent. According to the criminal charges, the corrections officer used a Yahoo! internet chat room to approach an agent who was using the online profile of a 13-year-old girl. He identified himself as a 36-year-old man from the Harrisburg area and told the girl that he worked at a prison. The officer then asked the girl if she was alone and then allegedly sent a live nude video transmission, asking her, "wanta c (see) me on cam get naked?" He then sent the undercover agent another nude webcam transmission of himself, adding that "I really want 2 meet u" and "I'm real serious or I wouldn't be chatting with u now." Attorney General Tom Corbett said that at approximately 7:30 a.m. today agents from the Child Predator Unit and Lower Paxton Township Police arrested the officer at his Harrisburg home and seized his computer, which will be analyzed by the Attorney General's Computer Forensics Unit. The CO is charged with one count of criminal attempted unlawful contact with a minor (obscene and other sexual materials and performances) and one count of criminal use of a computer. Both charges are third degree felonies which carry maximum penalties of seven years in prison and a $15,000 fine. The Attorney General's Child Predator Unit was created in January 2005 to identify and apprehend internet predators before they can harm children. This is the 60th arrest since the unit's creation. The unit is also involved in education and outreach efforts, teaching parents and children how to guard against internet predators. |
