Biglaw

Bryan Cave partner Daniel Waxman is on “indefinite leave” after being arrested last week allegedly attempting to meet a 14-year-old girl he’d carried on a text conversation with for the past month. In reality, he’d been chatting with an undercover cop.

He’s charged with attempted dissemination of indecent material to minors.

That title might sound like a relatively light charge, but the relevant NY penal code provision includes “intentionally us[ing] any computer communication system… to initiate or engage in such communication with a person who is a minor, and by means of such communication… intentionally importunes, invites or induces a minor to engage in sexual intercourse, oral sexual conduct or anal sexual conduct, or sexual contact….”
