Homeland Official Charged in Internet Child Seduction Case

Posted on Apr 4, 2006

The Homeland Security Dept.’s deputy press secretary allegedly tried to seduce a Florida sheriff’s detective who he thought was a 14-year-old girl.

Troubling for two reasons: (a) This shows the moral fiber of the people entrusted to spy on Americans; (b) this shows the incompetence and foolishness of the people entrusted to secure our borders—this kind of sting is the oldest trick in the book.

UPDATE: More details on the official’s alleged criminal actions.

Washington Post:

The deputy press secretary for the Department of Homeland Security was arrested last night on charges that he used the Internet to seduce an undercover Florida sheriff’s detective who he thought was a 14-year-old girl, the Polk County Sheriff’s Office said.

Brian J. Doyle, 55, was arrested at his Silver Spring home at 7:45 p.m. and charged with seven counts of using a computer to seduce a child and 16 counts of transmitting harmful materials to a minor, according to a sheriff’s office statement.

Agents with the department’s Inspector General’s Office, the U.S. Secret Service, the Montgomery County police and the Polk County Sheriff’s Office served a search warrant and seized his home computer and other materials, the statement said.

Brian Doyle sent “her” an official photo from his
Homeland Security office, sure to impress her in

Doyle was sitting as his desk and one wonders what his hands were doing below decks, leading

So the fishing expedition against Google, AOL, MSN, Earthlink, Yahoo, etc. by the feds in defense of the Child Online Protection Act is shown to be a front for a crackdown on the net “for our protection.”

The same people who are stumping for this legislation are the very same creepoids using their net access to download the very same “prurient material” and seduce under-age children.

Wait!  This guy couldn’t be trying to seduce an under-age girl?  I thought all pedophiles were lecherous gay men wanting to spread their homosexual agenda and destroy the ‘sanctity’ of marriage?!?!

How can this be!?
