Ex-cop is charged with luring girl

David Gambacorder has an article in the Philadelphia Daily News about the incident:

Leo Haley, a registered sex offender and retired Philadelphia police inspector, was arrested recently for allegedly trying to lure a Roxborough girl into his car.
Police said Haley, 72, approached the eight-year-old girl on Voight Street near Hill Road on 17 October, and threatened her when she refused to get into his car.
He was charged with unlawful restraint, terrorstic threats, luring a child into a vehicle, and harassment, police said.
In 2010, Haley and three other local men were busted by the Delaware County Internet Crimes Against Children Task Force following an undercover investigation of their Internet activity.
Haley, who retired from the police force in 2000, following a thirty-year career, was charged in that case with numerous counts of possessing and disseminating child pornography. He admitted to using a file-sharing network to download and view child porn, and pleaded guilty to the charges. He was sentenced in March of 2011 to seven years of probation and six to 23 months of confinement.
But attorney Robert Datner, who represented Haley in the Delaware County case, said the former cop served no prison time. "He was an older guy with a number of health problems, so there was some component of electronic home-monitoring," he said. Datner said that he hadn't yet spoken with Haley about the new charges.
Haley, of Lauriston Street near Roxborough Avenue, was required to register as a lifetime sex offender after the Delaware County case, and his photo, which shows a puffy-faced man with a short white beard, is displayed on the Megan's Law website.
In the mid-1980s, Haley served as an administrator in the office of then-Police Commissioner Gregore Sambor. He was promoted to the rank of inspector in 1992.
Rico says all they need to do is convict him and put him in prison with all the other child abusers; they'll solve the problem...
