A Secret Service officer is facing charges of trying to solicit sex from who he thought was a 14-year-old girl, police said.
Lee Robert Moore, 38, was fired after the accusations surfaced.
The Sun Sentinel reports that Moore is accused of sexting underage girls while on duty at the White House.
Moore was indicted on three federal charges for allegedly soliciting sex from an undercover agent who was posing as a 14-year-old girl.
Moore, who was a uniformed Secret Service officer at the White House, has been in jail since he was arrested in November.
Moore “sought to use mobile technology to sexually exploit multiple minor, teenage girls from one of the most secure places on the planet. He did so while in the presence of other highly trained law enforcement officers and just yards from the President of the United States, his family, and senior administration officials he was then protecting. … The brazen and self-absorbed nature of his conduct is simply breathtaking,” federal prosecutors wrote.
It’s unclear whether Moore will be charged with additional crimes for allegedly sexting other underage girls.
