Brian J. Doyle joined the Department of Homeland Security in early 2002. He had allegedly convinced a detective, who was posing as a child, to purchase a webcam following several conversations about sexual acts Doyle wanted to perform with the child. Amazingly, Doyle even sent the "girl" pictures of himself taken at the DHS headquarters wearing a Homeland Security pin.
In related news, the New York Times published an article today about online child sex through the eyes of a victim. The report claims that the sexual exploitation of children online is now a $20 Billion dollar industry, despite attempts by authorities worldwide to curb its terrible growth. Justin Berry, now 19, told his chilling story at a U.S. Congressional hearing yesterday about how he became a victim of Internet predators at the age of 13. Berry was molested by predators he'd met online. According to the Times, after being molested, Berry setup his own child sex website and more than 1,500 people had paid Berry to perform sexual acts on camera. He is now dedicated to assisting in the prosecution of those people.
The Internet has become the preferred domain for sexual predators seeing to exploit minors. The heinous crimes against children are made easier through the use of the Internet, and often go unabated by law enforcement, governments around the world and the security community.
