Former New York State
Assemblyman Chris Ortloff (R)

ALBANY -- Former state Assemblyman George C. ''Chris'' Ortloff pleaded guilty in federal court on Wednesday morning to a felony charge in connection with his attempt to have sex with what he believed were two sisters, ages 11 and 12. Ortloff, a former member of the state Parole Board, pleaded guilty to a single count of online enticement of minors. The conviction carries a minimum 10-year prison sentence and a maximum of life in prison.

By signing the plea agreement with federal prosecutors, Ortloff avoided indictment and accepted responsibility for his crimes. The government, in turn, agreed to recommend a reduced sentence. Ortloff's plea hearing was abruptly added to the court's calendar late Tuesday and without public notice by federal prosecutors. Normally, plea hearings are scheduled at least several days in advance and made part of the court's public calendar. During the plea proceeding, which took place via video conference with Ortloff in Albany and U.S. District Senior Judge Thomas J. McAvoy in Binghamton, the judge ordered Ortloff released with conditions on a personal recognizance bond of $100,000 pending his sentencing, set for April 23 in Binghamton.

Ortloff has been held in custody since his arrest Oct. 13 at a Colonie motel where he went expecting to have sex with two minors. Assistant U.S. Attorney Thomas Spina and Ortloff's attorney, Andrew Safranko, could not be reached for comment. The conditions of release imposed on Ortloff by the judge include home confinement and a prohibition from having or using a computer. Ortloff also must surrender his passport. Ortloff, 61, of Plattsburgh, resigned his $101,600-a-year job with the state parole board in the wake of his arrest. He was appointed to the board in 2006 by Gov. George Pataki. The former Republican assemblyman, also a former television reporter, was an outspoken advocate of tough penalties for sex offenders.

Documents in the case show Ortloff was accused of arranging with a ''mother'' to have sex with her young daughters. The mother actually was an undercover investigator assigned to the New York State Police's Internet Crimes Against Children Task Force in Albany. ''Ortloff discussed engaging in various sexual acts with said 'minors' while conversing with them online and on the telephone,'' states the plea agreement signed by Ortloff on Wednesday. The months-long plans imploded for Ortloff on Oct. 13 when he was arrested by task force members. Ortloff had two vibrators, ''one for each minor,'' along with lubricant and condoms when he was arrested at a Wolf Road motel, authorities said.

- In case you had any doubts, it truly "tis' the Season to be Jolly", because as you can see Santa Claus has left a wonderful present under someone's tree this year. Now hasn't he?

This slime lays plans to diddle two little girls with vibrators in a cheap motel, and all he has left now is this GPS ankle-bracelet. And his freedom until April anyway. At which time they'll probably give him probation while everyone is distracted with Easter....

1. Not only is this sick, but he's dumber than dirt. nt

[DeSwiss]

6. What a terrible insult...

...to dirt!!!

Babs, they tried to sneak this one under the radar, so Share this puppy and see if we can't give it the notoriety is deserves!!!

[babylonsister]

13. OK, Rec'd for more eyes, because I hate the thought that no one

will know about this louse.

[Warpy]

2. He was planning to diddle them with more than vibrators

since he also had condoms along to trap the DNA evidence.

It's hard to believe they let this slime spend Xmas at home instead of in jail where he so richly deserves to be.

I guess if you look like part of the ruling class, everything is forgiven over the holidays.

[DeSwiss]

7. Not just let him go home...

...at Xmas, but they tried to sneak what they were doing under the radar.

[panader0]

3. He worked for the state parole board?

Every convict whose case he reviewed should be given a further review. It's truly disgusting how many authorities are guilty of the same things they preach or prosecute against.

[DeSwiss]

8. Appointed by.....{drumroll please}.......

Gov. George Pataki

- You're not surprised its another Republican, are you???

[Richard D]

4. And chances are very very good . . .

. . . it wasn't his first time doing that. Just his first time getting caught.

[notesdev]

5. Certainly sounds like he was well prepared

Should send him to ankle-grabbing prison, not ankle-bracelet.

[Deja Q]

9. Oooh, goody! Male prison rape jokes!

(better don ye flame-suit, rum pa puhm-pum...)

[notesdev]

10. You have any doubt?

If they sent him to a real prison, it would be no laughing matter to him. Nobody gets targeted behind bars like a child molestor.

[opihimoimoi]

15. Prolly his wildest dreams come true...canardly wait....having orgasms at the thought

They will be fight for his ass....

"Me first"

"NO>>>>ME FIRST"

"NO.....US FIRST"

at which point the dudewill faint from multiple orgasms

[DeSwiss]

11. He came well prepared....

...except for a brain and a conscience.

[valerief]

12. Vermin ranks above this POS. Another Bush pardon, maybe? nt

[Hydra]

14. Once again

Laws are for the little people.

10 years? I'll be surprised if he gets 1 at home.

[The Backlash Cometh]

16. Sick, sleazy slime.

[tblue37]

17. This gets me:

The former Republican assemblyman, also a former television reporter, was an outspoken advocate of tough penalties for sex offenders.

Just like Limbaugh advocating for tougher penalties for drug offenders. But when these scumbags get caught committing the very crimes they are braying for tough penalties for, they all of a sudden expect to be treated with kid gloves.

[DeSwiss]

18. We could save a lot of time...

...if we just start investigating anyone who is an "outspoken advocate of tough penalties for sex crimes."

- Him what cackles the loudest, is usually the one who lays the egg....
