A former police captain is behind bars for a second time this
summer after police believe he solicited minors for sex online.
Fairfax County Police said 53-year-old Joseph Patrick Gamerl, of
Fairfax, Virginia, had been arrested in June on charges he inappropriately
touched a 10-year-old girl and exposed himself.
According to search warrants obtained by News4, Gamerl was then
fired from his contractor job for the Department of Justice Office of Diversion
Control.
In a routine screening of his work laptop, the Office of
Professional Responsibility found a child pornography image, according to
documents.
"Our detectives were able to obtain more evidence, especially
electronic evidence that showed that there's more victims out there, possibly
with ties to the Loudoun County or Prince William County areas," said
Fairfax County Police Officer Monica Meeks.
Gamerl used to be a police captain in North Miami Beach before
moving to Fairfax, Virginia.
Authorities said anyone who may have information about Gamerl's
contact with any children should call police.
