Todd Genger: oh dear, oh dear Todd.
Todd Genger has just managed to get himself arrested for essentially grooming a 15 year old girl over the internet. The reason Genger's "essentially" been doing that is that what he thought was a 15 year old girl on the internet was actually an investigator for the Westchester DA's office.
Tsk, tsk.
Todd Genger is (still is but presumably this will change to was at some point) an attorney at Goldman Sachs. Apparently the high profile career and a marriage with three kids wasn't enough so off he went to the chat rooms to see what he could find. Starting out in April he kept up the conversation with what he thought was a 15 year old girl and when he traveled to Westchester to consummate the deal he found that, well, Westchester tends not to employ investigators who are still in high school.
Genger "admitted to participating in the online conversations about the intended tryst, which included 'specific explicit sexual acts´." and could get anything from 15 months to 4 years if convicted.
But what inquiring minds want to know is, has anyone ever heard of one of these 15 year old girls on the internet, supposedly just agog with excitement at getting it on with someone possibly older than their own fathers, actually being 15 year old girls just agog with excitement? The only stories we ever seem to hear are of those who aren't, who are investigators or guys having a joke. Is it that we never hear about in happening in reality, or that it never does happen in reality?
