"A Jamesburg borough councilman was arrested today after he allegedly held sexually explicit Internet conversations with a detective who posed as a 14-year-old girl, Bergen County authorities said.
Thomas Bodall, 23, of East Church Road in Jamesburg, was charged with five counts of attempted endangering the welfare of a minor and two counts of distributing obscene material to a minor, Bergen County Prosecutor John Molinelli said.
He said Bodall, who used the computer screen name "capemayfantasy," held chat and instant messaging conversations with a member of the Bergen County Prosecutor's Office Computer Crimes Unit who posed as the teenage girl. On several occasions, Bodall allegedly transmitted photos of his private area to the investigator, Molinelli added.
Bodall is a Jamesburg councilman and works as a research and curatorial assistant for the Middlesex County Cultural and Heritage Commission. He is the honorary Jamesburg historian and curator of Lakeview mansion, Jamesburg's town museum, and is a member of several local historic and civic associations.
He was held at the Bergen County Jail today in lieu of $15,000 bail and could not be reached for comment. His father declined to comment when reached by telephone last night." -by Russell Ben-Ali/The Star-Ledger Thursday September 04, 2008, 6:21 PM
