THE ASSOCIATED PRESS - March 21st 2008
A former NYPD detective who attempted to set up a sex tryst with a 14-year-old girl was sentenced Thursday to a year in jail on a child pornography charge. "It was his job to protect the people of New York," said Assistant District Attorney Maxine Rosenthal. "Instead, he chose to prey on children."
Michael Farrell, a married father who had already been sentenced on Long Island on a similar charge, was sentenced in Manhattan on his guilty plea to attempted dissemination of indecent material to minors. Farrell, 36, would have faced up to four years in prison had he been convicted after a trial.
Farrell, of Levittown, admitted having on his computer photos of underage kids depicting sexual conduct. He also acknowledged that he had arranged to meet and have sex with someone he thought was a 14-year-old girl.
