Massachusetts and Florida police arrested a Logan Airport Lead Transportation Security Officer on a variety of child pornography charges.
After an undercover sting police say that they arrested Richard D. McLaughlin, 48, of Everett, who currently is in custody in St. Lucie County, Fla., in lieu of $350,000 bail.
A TSA official said McLaughlin was suspended indefinitely without pay.
McLaughlin unwittingly contacted an undercover Florida child porn task force agent who was posing online as a father with an available 11-year-old daughter.
Between January and March, from his home in Everett, McLaughlin allegedly discussed and repeatedly asked the agent for online sex with the purported daughter.
The agent allegedly received multiple links to child porn images from McLaughlin.
Florida agents, along with Massachusetts State Police, arrested McLaughlin at his house on March 7.
Authorities are continuing their investigation as they try to determine if there were any other on line crimes committed by McLaughlin.
