When he pulled into the parking lot of the Meadow Glen Mall in Medford, State Police Sergeant Brian O'Hare believed he was about to meet the 14-year-old boy he had been courting for months on the Internet, and the two would have sex, authorities said yesterday.
But there was no boy, just FBI agents waiting to arrest O'Hare at the end of a six-month undercover sting in which agents posed as flirty teenagers on an AOL chat room dubbed BoysShowerM4, said FBI spokeswoman Gail A. Marcinkiewicz.
Well known among his 2,300 peers in the State Police, O'Hare is a 19-year veteran of one of the state's most respected law enforcement agencies. After his arrest Friday, he was charged in federal district court in Boston with coercion and enticement of a minor under 18 to engage in prostitution or sexual activity.
If convicted, O'Hare could face five years in prison.

Also, what sort of a moron in law enforcement does this? Guess the need to be a pervert outshone any thought that this could have been a set up.
Title needs correcting....
This IS the place that keeps sending Barney Frank back to Washington.
I know it's not possible, but I wish it weren't publicized how they're catching these people. I don't want them figuring out ways to avoid it.
Given that in that part of the country you only get 60 DAYS for raping young girls repeatedly over a 7 year period, 5 years will be argued as being unduly harsh and cruel.
It will be hard to defend against that charge.
It doesn't sound like much, but think about it...an ex-cop and a pedophile? Bubba and Leroy are gonna make sure it's a long five years!
If someone in law enforcement is convicted of this sort of thing, the prison term should be higher.
He will get PC in the can. Cops wind up dead in prison.
State Police Sergeant Brian O'Hare (state poilce?) may be unable to renew his AOL membership, (unless MA prisons have computers for inmates) thereby causing AOL to lose money.
If this keeps up they may well have to charge more.

Also to consider that 14 year old boys are out there on the web hustling up sex as not everyone one of these interactions has police involved. If fathers did their jobs maybe there wouldn't be as much of this going on either.
Barney "Turn the Page" Frank, as he's known down at the bathhouse...

Looks like the Left's perfect law enforcement officer to me- why he should be a boy scout leader and what a great military man he would be the Picture boy for our feminized military. He and many more like him are a direct result of our sick political and moral society.
PC/Diversity vs homophobia..and we get the ruin of the Catholic church, and homosexual child molesters in positions of authority everywhere.
This is a type of behaviour commonly practiced by men in Muslim countries and in the ancient world. It won't be long until liberalism promotes this as normal, also, out of "tolerance". /sarc
That would be fair. In most states there are increased penalties for crimes against police officers.
The mods will probably advise you to hit the "abuse" button...they see your request quicker.
Ice ice baby!!
Yeah, everyone knows they can get it for free from their teacher!
(...or, if the ACLU and Ruth Bader have their way, a local Boy Scout leader...)
