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.

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.

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...)
If only Massachusetts State Police were allowed to marry ...
The divergence in their values is laughable. Porking young boys is tolerable, but if a young girl is involved she will be murdered because she dishonored the family.
How prevalent are homosexuals in police depts.? (other than Reno 911)
Sgt. Brian O’Hare was arrested at the Meadow Glen Mall in Medford during a sex sting operation on Friday.
Amen!
Isn't this how Scott Ritter got busted? I realize he was on the prowl for young girls but I believe he got a defferred sentence or something like that. How would this be different than what he did?
Something like that happened a couple years ago to a downriver Detroit area police chief. Met a teenage boy for a whatever-for-money in a school parking lot, then the boy and accomplice tried to rob him at gunpoint, and the cop killed the boy and had to resign in disgrace.
The Police Officer exam for the MSP must be a breeze. Even this idiot passed it.
This is not surprising at all in a sick, Democrat place like Massachusetts.
Do they still have "fisting" classes for elementary schoolers there?
Yep, this is exactly what happened to that sick pedophile Scott Ritter.
While I think pedophiles are pernicious and despicable, I worry when the law entices the crime; the protections of the amendments are steadily being eroded and rights replaced by privileges.
Prosecuting virtual crime could end up using resources better deployed locally.
Still, I guess we can get used to paranoia over time.
I didn't answer your question. By my experience the ratio of homo to straight seems to be around the same as the regular population - 2 or 3 percent or less. I imagine it's the same ratio for pedos - maybe a small fraction of one percent. In 20 years I've only known one officer who I later learned was later investigated for doing underage girls (around 16 yoa). Never found out if he got convicted or pled or whatever.
You'd think these scumbags would learn by now. That 13 y/o boy or girl you're chatting with is likely someone in law enforcement. People are just stupid and deserve to be busted and sent to prison.
So Ritter didn't do any time and is free to move about the country bashing W. Maybe this cop should start bashing W and walk away free also. These are the same crimes. Why would there be different punishments? They both knew what they were doing was wrong.
What about Segal's buddy Tyrone?
I think that poisoning the well will make it more difficult for pedophiles to ply their trade. The fact that the online companies allow these chat rooms to exist is equally bad as they are providing a forum for this stuff to occur.
Free speech was never intended to be "good" speech.
And Ted Kennedy
Just doing what they do best ...
Free speech? Sorry, but you won't make that sell here. If pedophilia is a crime then I see no reason why police cannot operate under cover much like they do in other criminal situations.
The plan is to shut down chat rooms of this sort; an issue that goes far beyond any single rendezvous.
I don't consider adults engaging in sexual conversations with minors an issue of free speech. Furthermore, soliciting of sex online or making plans to meet and have sex are not issue of free speech either. What someone is doing in that instance is conspiring to commit a crime.
Beats me. And, it hasn't seem to hurt his credibility with certain members of the left.
If it were simply a matter of what you find offensive it wouldn't be a legal issue.
Yes, but we are not talking about something deemed as offensive but rather an illegal act.
Not sure what you are getting at.
Wow , how awful
Hope steps are taken to stop him from getting a bloated pension.
