A lawyer for Wall Street powerhouse Goldman Sachs was caught in a sting operation aimed at perverts who solicit young girls for sex, officials said Tuesday.
Todd Genger, 33, is accused of trying to lure an underage teen with explicit chat on the Internet and then traveling to Westchester to consummate the cyber-affair.
In reality, the “girl” Genger was chasing was an undercover investigator posing as a teen in the chat room, the Westchester County district attorney’s office said.
Genger, a Manhattan resident who is married and has three children, was snared after a series of Internet conversations that began April 13 and ended Monday, officials said.
The investigator was posing as a 15-year-old and made it clear “she” was underage, said Lucien Chalfen, a spokesman for the district attorney.
Genger did not respond to telephone calls.
He admitted to participating in the online conversations about the intended tryst, which included “specific explicit sexual acts,” Chalfen said.
At his arraignment on charges of trying to disseminate indecent material to a minor, Genger was released on his own recognizance pending an Aug.11 court date.
He faces 1-1/3 to 4 years in prison, if convicted.
