Upstate NY cop arrested in NYPD computer sting



TROY, N.Y. (AP) -- New York City police have accused a veteran upstate police officer of having sexual conversations via computer with a person he thought was a 14-year-old girl.

 Troy Police Chief John Tedesco tells local media Friday that Sgt. Pat Rosney of East Greenbush was arrested earlier in the day by a Queens-based NYPD vice squad and charged with endangering the welfare of a child and disseminating indecent material to a minor.

 Rosney was being brought to Queens for arraignment. It couldn't initially be determined if he has a lawyer. Tedesco says Rosney has been suspended without pay. His age and years with the Troy force weren't immediately available from police officials.
