Long Island, NEW YORK

New York Assemblyman Chris Ortloff, (R) 61, who represented the North Country's 110th Assembly District from 1986 until 2006, pleaded guilty on Christmas Eve 2008 to a federal charge of using the Internet to solicit sex from minors.

From the Adirondack Daily Enterprise:

Authorities say that, starting in June 2008, Ortloff repeatedly began e-mailing a police investigator whom he believed to be the mother of two preteen sisters, and he arranged to meet them at a Colonie
motel for sex on Oct. 13. When state police showed up at the motel to arrest him, he reportedly answered the door naked and had condoms, vibrators, lubricant, a camera and assorted sex toys in the room.
His sentencing has been delayed three times. He was originally scheduled to be sentenced on April 23. He has been in custody since that time. Sentencing is now set for March 8, 2010.

Appointed by Governor Pataki in 2006, Ortloff was paid $101,600 a year for a part-time Parole Board job. Taxpayers will pay him $53,136 a year for the rest of his life, even in prison.
