A White House Secret Service employee has been arrested after he allegedly sent his naked photos to someone in Delaware he thought was a 14-year-old girl, according to a criminal complaint on Thursday.
Thirty-seven-year-old Lee Robert Moore surrendered at the Maryland State Police Barracks on Monday, the same day the U.S. District Court for Delaware filed a case against the secret service employee. A series of chats online between Moore and an undercover Delaware State Police officer are central to the case, according to CNN.
The indictment states that the Delaware Child Predator Task Force officer created two profiles of 14-year-old girls using two online applications, "Meet24" and "Kik," which allow those who use it to send messages, images and voice messages, according to Fox News. The feds traced Moore through his user information and IP address.
"What would make you more nervous: Riding on a motorcycle with me or having sex with me?" one of his messages allegedly read, according to the Daily Beast. "I would take immense pleasure in pulling those shorts off your hips and down your cute little legs," another one said.
Secret Service spokesperson Nicole Mainor said Moore's access to all the Secret Service facilities has ended.
"The Secret Service takes allegations of potential criminal activity extremely seriously," Mainor said, according to the Daily Beast. "All Secret Service issued equipment was retrieved and the employee's access to all Secret Service facilities was terminated."
