Federal agents and Boca Raton police began investigating in January after the parents of the 17-year-old found texts on her phone. The girl said she sent photographs of herself to a man in exchange for cigarettes and cash.

Investigators said Goldberg picked up the girl and her 15-year-old friend on Nov. 24, took them to his office in the 2200 block of Glades Road and gave them alcohol and $100 each to let him take photos of them “making out” and exposing themselves. [Sun Sentinel]Emily Schmall
