July 29 (Bloomberg) -- A Goldman Sachs Group Inc. compliance lawyer was formally charged in New York state court after being arrested for allegedly soliciting what he thought was a 15-year- old girl, prosecutors said.

Todd Genger, 33, is accused of attempted dissemination of indecent material to a minor, Westchester County District Attorney Janet DiFiore said in a statement today after Genger’s court appearance. Prosecutors identified Genger as a Goldman attorney. Goldman spokeswoman Andrea Raphael, who declined to comment on the arrest, said he worked in the compliance unit and didn’t have legal duties.

From April until June, an investigator from DiFiore’s office posed online as a 15-year-old girl and chatted with Genger, DiFiore said.

“The defendant discussed specific sexual acts in which he would engage the underage ‘girl,’” DiFiore said. “The defendant admitted to having the online conversations.”

Genger, a vice president in the compliance division who worked at Goldman since 2006, was released on his own recognizance and must return to court on Aug. 11. He faces a maximum of four years in state prison if convicted, the prosecutor said. ...........(more)

1. Can you blame him? He must be thinking "Wow - I can get away with ANYTHING!".

2. Wow, talk about bad timing.

A lawyer. A Goldman Sachs lawyer. Busted for soliciting a minor when the entire country already despises everyone and everything associated with GS.

I say he has to be let go. He can't possibly get a fair trial.
