New York EMT Arrested for Sending Nude Photo to Teen

AARON GIFFORD, Staff writer
The Post-Standard (Syracuse, New York)



A West Eaton Volunteer Ambulance Corps member who serves on the group's executive board has been suspended following charges that he sent nude photos of himself to a 14-year-old girl and invited her to have sex with him.
John A. Dorgan, who officials said was scheduled to teach high school students in WEVAC's new Explorer program later this month, will remain suspended until his case is resolved, said WEVAC President Harry Riggall.

With all of the bad I have witnessed happen to kids this year, I would have been happier not ever reading this kind of thing too...:thumbs_down:

it hits home for me, too.

We had a child molester helping with our explorer post 4 years ago - when I was an explorer. He is now "best friends" with Bubba at Camp Hill State Prison.

I posted this for two reasons.... #1, because we need to be careful of who we let on our squads, espicially when they will work with young people on a daily basis. Also, if it is a Boy Scouts of America Exploring program, all adults working with the teens must be 21+, anyone between 18-20 is still a "youth." All adults working with children should also have the BSA's youth protection traning.

Point #2 - This is a Long Island company (I think) and we have several volunteers here from L.I. who may or may not have heard more on this.

When my son was in Cub Scouts I went through a training program to be an assistant den leader. One of the rules was that under no circumstance are you ever alone with a scout. This was to protect not only the scout but the adult as well.

Sick. just plain sick.

This is probably why that when you join our dept, you go through an extensive background check.

You just CANNOT be too careful

The above mentioned company is actually located in Madison County in Central NY

 

[TTLWHKR]

The times are off...

Yeah, I guess sending a nude photo to a minor would be a bad thing.

Was it a Christmas card?

Wouldn't that be a good way to cut down the number of cards you would have to send next year?

; )

I stand corrected.

 

[MedicPrincess]

LOl...Alex your sick LOL...

I read this too...its terrible. Our FD lost its explorer program because the leader was charged with distributing porn to minors. So the board of commissioners shut the whole thing down.

 

[emtd29]

I stand corrected.

You're Forgiven, Jon

 

[emtd29]

ps.

Princess, Good luck on your interview!!!!!

well, maybe we should all be under the scrutiny of camera's?

or perhaps not?


Action follows inquiry of alleged lewdness on camera

An investigation into a Milwaukee fire lieutenant who is suspected of performing a lewd act in front of a computer camera while on duty has widened, leading to the suspension of at least two firefighters, a top city official said Monday.

The department has put two to three firefighters on suspension, said Patrick Curley, chief of staff for Mayor Tom Barrett. He said at least one of the suspended employees is being paid. At least four firefighters are under investigation, he said.

"I don't know how far the tentacles will reach. There is a minimum of four, and it could go higher," Curley said.

"The chief has informed us about the suspensions. Our advice has been to follow the letter of law but move as quickly as possible and let people know this is clearly unacceptable behavior and it will not be tolerated at the Fire Department."

The department declined to comment, citing the ongoing investigation, said Assistant Chief Mark Sain.

Last week, Chief William Wentlandt said he expected the investigation to be done in roughly two weeks. The chief could not be reached for comment Monday. Union officials also could not be reached for comment.

"What we have to do is get through this investigation first and take the other issues as they come," he said.

These people knew they were on camera, even the FF, that's the risk you take with webcams...and to do that at a station? :excl: Hell I took immodium every time I did a 24hr shift because I didn't want to have to use the bathroom while I was there!:blush: It's pure stupidity, and as far as molesters go they need to rot in hell. Did any of you see that dateline program with perverted justice? It was great, but in 2 days they had 30 men go to that house, and the jobs they held were definitly not something you'd expect, or would be afraid of. It was just the tip of the iceberg. You NEVER know who may be capable of these terrible acts, I lived with one for half my life, no clue!

It's unfortunate but we all have to be careful and sometimes paranoid.

My ambulance corps had booted a former member when he was brought up on charges that he molested a teenage female patient in the back of the rig on a call.
We had another member who as a member, had sex with a minor and got her pregnant.
I have a good friend who's registered as a sex offender because he was caught, at age 17 going down on his 16yo gf. Come corps around here allow him to ride... Currently he has a lawyer trying to squash the history because HE was a minor as well. It keeps him from getting good jobs now even though that was well over 10 years ago.
