I totally think emts and fire departments are a front. Guy throws his back out fixing his sink and five precincts are deployed with eight trucks. Give me a break

I hope this child gets immediate help. He needs to understand that this sick pervert's uniform had nothing to do with the abuse. These children that are being abused in any way shape or form, should be taken by their parent or guardian so they can be made to understand that none of what happened is their fault.

A 22-year-old New Jersey man who worked as an Emergency Medical Technician and volunteer firefighter was charged yesterday with soliciting a child to take naked pictures of himself and send them online, according to Acting U.S. Attorney William E. Fitzpatrick.

The man is charged with one count of sexual exploitation of children. He appeared in federal court today before U.S. Magistrate Judge Steven C. Mannion, and he was detained.

According to the Complain against the man:

Beginning Oct. 2016, the perpetrator engaged in sexually explicit messages with a boy who had stated he was 12 years old. The perpetrator sent the minor victim pictures of himself in his EMT and firefighter uniforms, and asked the boy to send him naked pictures. The offender told the boy, “Just don’t get caught.” In response to the perpetrator's requests, the child sent the man naked images of his genitals on two occasions.

The charge of sexual exploitation of a child comes with a mandatory minimum sentence of 15 years in prison, a maximum potential sentence of 30 years in prison, and a fine of $250,000.

Once again, the people we entrust our children to in times of emergency are the ones taking advantage of our children in the worst ways possible.
