A Sunrise man who traveled to Spokane, Wash., for his civilian job with the U.S. Border Patrol was arrested there, accused of trying to have sex with an underage girl he met on the Internet.

The girl he thought he was messaging online turned out to be a police officer.

Rick A. Leva, 37, was arrested Dec. 3 on a charge of attempted second-degree rape of a child.

According to Spokane Police Department reports, a detective was signed on to AOL under a female screen name. Leva, using the screen name Rick82951, contacted the girl Nov. 27 and asked if she' wanted to meet him when he was in Washington.

The online conversation eventually turned to sex, the report said.

On Dec. 2, when Leva was in Spokane, he allegedly contacted the girl via instant message and said he wanted to meet and have sex.

A female officer paged Leva. Minutes later, Leva showed up and was arrested.

According to the report, ``the defendant stated he was stupid, embarrassed, and wanted to die.''

Leva was released on bond.

Why is this news? Why did I read it? Do you think the point is that this individual works for the Border Patrol, therefore the Border Patrol is BAD. A newspaper in Miami reporting sexual perversion by the Border Patrol in South Florida, land of the illegals, how disturbing. Do you think there could be an agenda here as in YELLOW PRESS. I mean after all Priests, Rabi's, teachers, counselors, and etc. do it all the time in the culture rich country we now live in. Child predators are lower than pond scum, but this is not news, it's PROPAGANDA.
