Deputy Press Secretary of Homeland Security Doyle loves the kiddies

Remember how your mother told you never to trust strangers? Apparently, Deputy Press Secretary for Homeland Security Brian Doyle‘s mother didn’t, since the douchebag ended up in the net of a Florida child-sex sting operation. According to the officers involved in tracking down Doyle, he would consistently refer to his position in the government in order to impress what he thought was a 14-year-old girl, a statement they didn’t believe at first (after all, everyone lies on the internet), until further investigation revealed that the asshole really was who he claimed to be. In other words, he actually thought that a 14-year-old girl would give a shit that he had a meaningless position as sub-deputy Asshole, and was trying to make it sound sexy. Ouch. In a related note, Doyle’s clearly proven and demonstrated ability to use the internet and expected termination today means that the Dept. will lose its most technically savvy official by tomorrow.

Homeland Security official arrested in sex sting

WASHINGTON (Reuters) – The deputy press secretary for the U.S. Department of Homeland Security has been arrested in a sex sting operation on charges of trying to seduce someone he believed to be a 14-year-old girl, Polk County Sheriff Grady Judd said on Tuesday.

Brian Doyle, 55, faces 23 charges in Polk County, Florida, related to use of a computer to seduce a child and transmitting harmful material to a minor, Judd said in a statement.

Doyle was taken into custody at his home in Silver Spring, Maryland, outside Washington, on Tuesday evening while he was on the line with undercover detectives, Judd said.

“He was on his computer communicating with the undercover detective who he believed to be a 14-year-old girl at the time we knocked on his door in Maryland, took him into custody and served a search warrant,” Judd said in an interview on CNN.

The statement said Doyle on March 12 contacted a 14-year-old girl whose profile was posted on the Internet and initiated a sexually explicit conversation. The “girl” was actually an undercover Polk County detective.

In subsequent conversations, Doyle gave the undercover detective his office phone number and his government-issued cell phone number. The statement alleged that the official Doyle used the Internet to send pornographic movie clips to the “girl” and had explicit sexual conversations in online chats with “her,” the statement said.

According to the statement, Doyle also had sexually explicit telephone conversations with a detective posing as a child on his office telephone and cell phone.

Many of the conversations with the “victim” were too graphic for public release, the statement said.

“There is no question that Doyle believed that he was having these disgusting, obscene discussions, on-line and on the phone, with a young girl,” Judd said.

“What stands out to me the most in this particular case was the fact that Brian, on his first conversation with our undercover detective, who he believed to be a 14-year-old girl, clearly identified himself as a deputy press secretary for Homeland Security,” Judd told CNN.

“If he would provide that kind of information to include a photograph of himself with his identification tags, who else may he be talking to around the world who he thinks to be a 14-year-old girl?” Judd said.

The sheriff said Doyle already faces 23 felony counts in the state of Florida and could face charges in a federal investigation now underway.

“We take these allegations very seriously and we will cooperate fully with this ongoing investigation,” DHS spokesman Russ Knocke said in a statement.

A Homeland Security official said Doyle was expected to be put on administrative leave on Wednesday.
