QUEENS — The sentencing of a former Troy police sergeant
arrested a year ago in a sting for sending sexual material to a minor over the
Internet was postponed again in Queens County Court.
Patrick Rosney, 54, of Rensselaer pleaded guilty in March to
felony first-degree attempted dissemination of indecent material to a minor.
Officials in the Queens County District Attorney's office said Wednesday's
sentencing was postponed because the judge hearing the case was absent. No new
date was set.
Rosney retired a sergeant after 26 years on the job after
his arrest in June 2012 for sending images over the Internet to an NYPD
detective he thought was a 14-year-old girl. He is expected to be sentenced to
five years' probation and a $5,000 fine. He will also have to complete a sex
offender program and register as a sex offender, officials have said.
