A West Palm Beach federal judge is scheduled Thursday to sentence 38-year-old Lee Robert Moore, an ex-Secret Service agent who pleaded guilty to enticing a teenage girl to have sex.
Prosecutors are seeking a lengthy prison sentence, while Moore, who is from Maryland, and his lawyer want a lesser term because of his Marine Corps service.
Prosecutors say Moore maintained a profile on a social media site called "Meet24." Delaware State Police detectives posed on the site as a 14-year-old girl. Moore admitted participating in sexual chat sessions and sending explicit photos of himself.
Moore worked at the White House as a uniformed Secret Service officer when he was arrested in 2015.
Prosecutors say he communicated with minors in Florida, Texas and Missouri after his arrest.
