Ind. Courts - A Marion County public defender caught in child solicitation sting
Vic Ryckaert of the Indianapolis Star reports today:
A man who works as a Marion County public defender was arrested Sunday for allegedly soliciting an underage girl he met over the Internet.
Ryan Snyder, 29, 3700 block of Knickerboker Place, was arrested on initial charges of dissemination of matter harmful to a child and child solicitation after police say he used the Internet to set up a sexual encounter with a detective posing as a 15-year-old girl, according to a police report.Snyder also sent the undercover officer an explicit photo of male genitalia, police said.
Indiana Supreme Court records show Snyder earned his law license in 2005 and currently works for the Marion County Public Defender's Office.
The arrest was part of a sting conducted by the Indianapolis Metropolitan Police Department's vice unit.
