A Secret Service officer assigned to the White House was arrested and charged with soliciting a minor and sending obscene material to what authorities say he thought was a 14-year-old girl.

The uniformed officer, Lee Robert Moore, was actually communicating online with an undercover agent, authorities said today.

Federal and state charges revealed today show that he is accused of sending explicit messages and of trying to arrange a meeting for a sexual encounter with a minor. He also allegedly asked for compromising pictures and video of the child.

Some of the sordid communication, which occurred over a period of weeks, allegedly took place while Moore was on duty, working at the White House.

3. this is hard to understand...

This wasn't some low level tsa screener, it was a secret service employee working at the white house. It takes close to a year to go through the security clearance required to work there. It's one of the hardest locations to get authorized to work at.

This couldn't have been his first dabble on the dark side. How did they miss it?

And he is stupid enough to text what amounts to criminal activity while on the job? A job where literally every message sent or received is subject to screening.

That is really beyond believable. Really.

4. What the hell is wrong with this Secret Service?

Have they always been like this and the current state of media means more get exposed? Or is someone letting an unusually high number of dirtbags protect President Obama?

6. Your last question seems likely to me! They were spectacular asses with some Colombian females.

Made an international scandal there.

Have created other incidents, too.

Something really weird has been happening, and they are letting the world know they don't seem to be taking their job of protecting the President too seriously. Makes you wonder what it all means, doesn't it?
