Florida Lawyer, Arrested on Child Porn Charges, Accused of Abusing Minors
A Broward County, Florida, lawyer, arrested on federal child porn charges, is also accused of abusing two underage girls, according to court records, according to a report from the Sun Sentinel.
David Rothenberg, 47, was arrested Saturday at home after an undercover investigation revealed he was logging on to a “daddaughtersex” chat room from the Internet protocol address of his Fort Lauderdale law firm and trying to persuade a stranger to let him have sex with her 13-year-old daughter, authorities said. But in reality he was communicating with an undercover officer for about six weeks, investigators said.
“Authorities said they moved swiftly to arrest Rothenberg on the child porn charges when they found evidence he was sexually abusing a real teenage girl,” the Sun Sentinel reported.
