A former city police officer will be on indeterminate probation for the one-time lapse in judgment of using his cell phone to solicit for sexual purposes someone he believed to be a 16-year-old girl, a Circuit Court judge decided Thursday.
Michael S. Boyd, 32 and a father of three, was an eight-year veteran policeman when he resigned in June, about a month after his May 2010 arrest. He apologized today to the police department and the people of Chesapeake.
He pleaded guilty in August. According to a stipulation filed in the case, he exchanged text messages with a girl in early May 2010. She and her mother eventually called police, and a male investigator continued the texting, posing as a girl.
They exchanged photos, Boyd sent a photo of his penis, and police arrested him four days later.
