A former journalist and talk show host who was arrested on child sex crime charges in Massachusetts last week allegedly bragged in private text messages that they came close to having a sexual encounter with a teenager in their neighborhood.
The conversation was detailed in a 24-page police affidavit obtained by The Desk on Wednesday that was written and filed in support of an arrest warrant for Slade Sohmer, the former editor-in-chief of the left-of-center politics website The Recount.
Sohmer was arrested last week on suspicion of downloading and transmitting child pornography after police executed a search warrant on his East Otis home last month. There, law enforcement seized numerous phones and computers from Sohmer and his room-mate, whom The Desk is not identifying at this time because they have not been charged with a crime.
Police say Sohmer willingly gave them his password to at least two Apple iPhones that were later examined by forensic investigators. The examination turned up more than 1,300 pornographic images and videos, hundreds of which police believe involve children.

Investigators have a high degree of confidence that more than 50 videos allegedly pulled from Sohmer’s devices show undressed children engaged in sexual activity, and at least eight victims have been identified by police and the National Center for Missing and Exploited Children (NCMEC), an advocacy group that works with law enforcement to combat child sex crimes.
