Former NY Assemblyman Pleads Guilty In Sex Sting

If you read this version of the story, you're forced to guess what party he belongs to.

Former New York lawmaker Chris Ortloff reached a plea deal with federal prosecutors on Wednesday in connection with his arrest at a hotel in Colonie, NY on October 13, 2008.
Prosecutors say the 61 year old Ortloff went on-line and tried to lure what he thought were two minors to the hotel for a sexual encounter.

According to prosecutors, the minors were actually undercover officers with the New York State Police internet crimes task force.

This account notes he's a Republican.

Chris Ortloff resigned from the parole board after his Oct. 13 arrest in a state police sting at a motel in suburban Albany. A 61-year-old Republican from Plattsburgh, Ortloff represented the North Country's 110th Assembly District from 1986 until 2006.
