Anthony Aubin, 27, was arrested for trying to use a fake check on October 12
. While sex parties alone are not criminal, a source close to the investigation said
the parties were attended by young boys who were not of legal age to drink or consent to having sex with adults.
Sgt. Jonathan E. Moore, 35, of the Schenectady police department, has been suspended after he and his boyfriend, Anthony Aubin, 27, were caught at trying to use a fraudulent check to purchase a $92,000 Jaguar. Aubin was arrested on felony charges for attempting to use the check.
However, according to a report in the
Times Union, the arrest of Aubin, who has a lengthy criminal record and was recently on parole, has triggered a much broader, multi-agency police investigation into allegations that gay officers may have hosted or taken part in sex parties — called "breeding parties" — that allegedly were attended by teenagers who were not of legal age to drink alcohol or consent to having sex with adults.
Aside from the Schenectady police department investigation, the probe has spread to the Albany police department as well. As the
Times reports,
other departments may also become involved in the broader investigation, according to a person briefed on the matter but not authorized to comment publicly.
