Brian J. Doyle, DOB 4/7/50, the Deputy Press Secretary for the U.S. Department of Homeland Security's Office of Public Affairs in Washington, D.C., was arrested this evening at his residence in Silver Springs, Maryland, on 23 Polk County charges related to the use of a computer to seduce a child and transmitting harmful materials to a minor. Doyle's arrest is the result of a joint investigation by the Polk County Sheriff s Office, working with Florida’s 10th Judicial Circuit State Attorney Jerry Hill s office, and the U.S. Department of Homeland Security Inspector General s Office.
The Investigation
On March 12, 2006, Doyle contacted a 14-year-old girl whose profile was posted on the Internet, and initiated a sexually explicit conversation with her. The girl was actually an undercover Polk County Sheriff s Computer Crimes detective. Doyle knew that the girl was 14 years old, and he told her who he was and that he worked for the U.S. Department of Homeland Security. During future online chats, Doyle gave the undercover detective posing as a 14-year-old girl his office phone number and his government-issued cell phone number, so that they could have telephone conversations, in addition to their online chatting. Doyle used the Internet to send hard-core pornographic movie clips to the girl and used the AOL Instant Messenger chat service to have explicit sexual conversations with her. The investigation revealed that the phone numbers given to the detective were in fact Doyle s, and that the AOL account used was registered to Doyle. Doyle also sent photos of himself to the detective, which were not sexually explicit but did serve to further positively identify him.
The Conversations
On many occasions, Doyle instructed the victim, whom he believed to be a 14-year-old girl, to perform a sexual act while thinking of him, and described explicit and perverse sexual acts he wished to have with her, in addition to sending her numerous obscene .mpg files (digital movies). He also had sexually explicit telephone conversations with a detective posing as a child on his office line and cell phone. He attempted to seduce the girl during their online chats, encouraging her to purchase a web cam so that she could send graphic images of herself to him, and promised her that he would likewise send nude photos of himself. Many of the conversations he initiated with the victim are too extraordinary and graphic for public release.
I'm waiting to hear this this guy is a good, churchgoing family man.
Now, I hate to tread on Pam's territory here, but I'm hoping that since Pam and I are going to pass each other on the I-95 corridor today as she heads up to NY while I head down to HER neck of the woods (maybe next time, Pam!), I hope she won't mind...but I couldn't resist checking out what the Freepers are saying about this.
I'm not one to give props to Freepers, but this case is SO blatant, that not even the Freepers were able to spin this is a plot by Hillary Clinton. In fairness, most of even the Freepers are appalled.
I'll be very interested in seeing how Scotty McClellan handles the inevitable questions about how the Administration does background checks, given that one official has been nailed for shoplifting and another one now nailed as a pedophile. Perhaps this is why there have been rumors about McClellan's impending departure. Somehow I think Scotty's dronings about "not commenting on an ongoing investigation" aren't going to cut it here.
