AP article chronicles arrest of Collins mayor in internet sex sting

Marcus Kabel of Associated Press has the lowdown on Diamond Police officer Jim Murray's arrest of Collins Mayor Allen Kaufman during a recent internet sex sting:

The probable cause statement for the charges is full of the shorthand, rapid-fire messages that make up online chat. They give a sense of the lurid, grimy exchanges that can develop between a child and a stranger online.

Murray was logged into a Yahoo ! chat room as a 13-year-old girl named “cindyndiamond” using the screen name “Cin” when he was first contacted Nov. 15 by “duke dukeadk”, who prosecutors allege was Kauffman.

Duke contacted Cindy again the next day and said he was 55. The exchange included Cin: i like to french kiss... senior boy taught me.

duke dukeadk: but it depends on where you want to be kissed at lol.

Five minutes later Duke asked duke dukeadk: so you a virgin In at least five instant-message sessions through mid-December, Duke went on to tell Cindy he wanted to have sex with her, to ask for nude photos of her and to suggest Cindy have sex with another girl in front of a webcam so that Duke could watch.

In a Dec. 1 message, Cindy said they lived far apart and Duke responded duke dukeadk: it would be worth the drive if i got to make love to you Duke did not propose an actual meeting in any of the exchanges listed in the charging documents.
