A lawyer for Goldman Sachs has been accused of luring an underage teenager with explicit internet chat and then trying to consummate the cyber-affair by traveling to Westchester.
Todd Genger, was caught in a sting operation aimed at perverts who solicit young girls for sex, the Daily News reports.
From the Daily News:
In reality, the "girl" Genger was chasing was an undercover investigator posing as a teen in the chat room, the Westchester County district attorney's office said.
Genger, a Manhattan resident who is married and has three children, was snared after a series of Internet conversations that began April 13 and ended Monday, officials said.
The investigator was posing as a 15-year-old and made it clear "she" was underage, said Lucien Chalfen, a spokesman for the district attorney.
Genger was charged with atttempting to disseminate indecent material to a minor. He's been released on his own recognizance pending an August 11 court date.

A lawyer was snared in a sting operation as he was trying to screw someone - He’s a Lawyer - that’s his job description!
Ugh. I really, really don’t like “sting” operations. I won’t defend this creep. I know there has to be some way to nail these parasites. I get that, really I do. But I just don’t like these methods. There’s got to be another way (and no, I don’t know what it is).
The police should not be creating crime. Sting ops provide an opportunity that would not have happened but for their action. There was no 15 year old girl. There was no minor. There was no “victim”.
Sure, this guy is somebody that plainly needed to get caught, and I don’t suggest that real girls should be put at risk in any way. But the simple fact remains that this particular crime would not have happened were it not for the actions of the police. There’s something just wrong with that.
So next stop...White House??!!
OMG lol most likely!
