... Robert Decheine, 48, of Washington, D.C., was arrested in Gaithersburg, Md. last week. Gaithersburg police announced Tuesday that 11 people were caught in a police sting that involved ads placed on a website and an undercover officer communicating with johns through phone and text messages.
During the communication, an exchange of services or expectations was made, a police news release said.
Decheine was arrested at 10:30 p.m. on Nov. 17 and Gaithersburg police contacted authorities in the House to confirm the employment information he gave them, Lane said.
The solicitation was for sex with an underage girl, said Gaithersburg Police Officer Dan Lane. Decheine was released on $15,000 bail.
Rothman, D-Fair Lawn, learned of the arrest from the House sergeant at arms at 3:30 p.m. Friday, spokesman Aaron Keyak said in a release. Rothman immediately consulted appropriate House Counsel and terminated Mr. Decheines employment, the release said.
Congressman Rothman considers this alleged criminal act to be shocking, appalling and indefensible, the release said. As a parent, he understands the vital importance of protecting our children from predators.
Rothman directed his staff to cooperate with investigators, but would not comment further. The charge of sexual solicitation of a minor in Maryland carries a penalty of not more than 10 years in prison or a fine not exceeding $25,000.
Decheine has run Rothmans Washington and New Jersey offices since May 2003 and was also an integral part of his reelection campaign. After Rothman became the first House incumbent in the Northeast to support Barack Obama against Hillary Rodham Clinton for president, Decheine became a senior adviser to Obamas New Jersey campaign operation and took a leave from Rothmans office.

This one likes em young.
A DUer for sure.
So he and his wife are *both* on Rothman’s payroll? I wonder how comfortable the office for her will be on Monday.
Actually, I wonder if she had any clue. She must be in agony and rage if she just found out. If that’s the case, I feel terrible for her. Even a campaign worker for the other side doesn’t deserve to be put into this situation.
