Former Munhall, PA police officer Michael Curtin has been charged with trying to solicit sex from several underage girls and offering them $1000 to suck their toes.
Curtin’s began hanging around the underage girls in January 2006, and also supplied alcohol to at least three teenage girls. The girls also accused Curtin of touching them inappropriately.
Using MySpace to contact more underage girls, Curtin would offer them $1000 to allow him to kiss their feet and suck their toes.
"The parent had felt that her daughter had some contact that she felt wasn't quite right with a person who they believed to be police officer in Munhall," said Allegheny County Police Superintendent Charles Moffatt.
In the MySpace postings, police said Curtin actually mentioned in one solicitation, "I'm a Munhall cop."
Curtin is charged with corruption of minors, unlawful contact with minors and criminal solicitation of indecent assault and prostitution from the MySpace probe of his alleged foot fetish.
That probe led to additional charges, involving corruption and the endangering of three additional underage girls. He's accused of indecent assault against two of them, and providing girls alcohol and letting them drive his car.
Former Steel Valley High School student Sarah Chalfont said she remembers when Curtin used to patrol outside of the school.
"He was really lurky. You know, he was always standing around and looking around at people and usually the cops that were up there weren't like that. You're taught to trust an officer and then for someone that you trust to hurt you and scar you for life like that, it's really sad."
As far as they know, police said they believe all of the alleged activity happened while Curtin was off duty.
In order to post bond, Curtin must first clear a screening by the jail's behavioral unit. The Munhall Borough Council voted unanimously to fire Curtin in February.
On Wednesday, Curtin's attorney said the officer's dismissal was partially related to the allegations that are surfacing now, but he declined to comment further.
Investigators suspect that some of the activity involving the girls occurred at Curtin's Munhall home, according to the complaint.
Curtin is currently being held in Allegheny County Jail on a bond of $100,000.

Please visit my websites at www.firstokdvwalk.org and www.tdvvi.org on 5/31/08. That website should be active by then. What people do not understand is the "nature of the beast". We call it that because we seriously have to consider the animal like instincts that some of us within the masculine gender resort to.
Women are befuddled by this kind of behavior, and although most men do not condone such behavior, they certainly can step back and do an assessment of themselves knowing that things such as indecent exposure and soliciiting underage girls and boys could happen to them if they do not keep their sex drives in check.
Masculine Emotional Deficiency Syndrome is a theory that I am currently working on as a psychology project. Those deficiencies include immaturity, insecurity, inability to cope with rejection or the fear of abandonment, extremely selfish, and not spiritually inclined. Those negative qualities found within the confines of the masculine gender could be one day our gender wide downfall.
What happens to the 13 to 15 year old girls that have sex with a boy 4 or more years older. Thats a serious crime. But hang someone who had no sexual contact with a minor, These laws are all messed up thanks to the people who vote these judges in that have not a clue...
