Man admits to sex with minor under polygraph while trying to become a cop



http://www.meadvilletribune.com/news/local_news/police-candidate-facing-sex-crime-charges/article_3e1bbb32-a320-11e4-a19e-bf2688dacae8.html




                       
                       
                       
                           

                           
                       
                   
                       
               
                   
                   
                       
                       
Joseph Adam White,
29, of Hartstown has been charged by Pennsylvania State Police at
Meadville with four counts of unlawful contact with a minor and 10
counts of corruption of minors.


                       
                       
                   
                       
               
                   
                   
                       
                       
White had made application to become a potential state police cadet, according to authorities.


                       
                   
                       
               
                   
                   
                       
                       
On Jan. 15, White
was at the state police barracks in Vernon Township for a pre-polygraph
test examination when he "made statements that he had consensual sexual
intercourse and other inappropriate sexual contact with the victim when
she was a juvenile,” according to state police at Meadville.


                       
                   
                       
               
                   
                   
                       
                       
White said the
incidents occurred in a field located off Fitch Road in South Shenango
Township between May 15, 2011, and Sept. 1, 2011, according to state
police.


                       
                   
                       
               
                   
                   
                       
                       
Police located and interviewed the victim, who is now 19, and she corroborated the incidents, according to state police.

I'm sure all the advice he got leading up to that was "just be honest!  They don't care about your past, they are just seeing if you are trustworthy!"

Do they always polygraph new cadets and give them strange questions?

I think it would be better to be thought evasive or deceptive than to admit to a child sex crime.

You would, or perhaps wouldnt, be surprised to find out that many a chicken fucker or peanut butter on the balls types have been weeded out during backgrounds because of those questions.

They told my brother it was ok if it was 5 years ago IIRC.

Read the article. It was the pre-polygraph questionnaire in which he admitted to it. They never strapped him to the box.

Although polygraphs are not an exact science they are really good at getting people to tell the truth.

Doubt it, failed polygraphs are not submit-able as evidence so it'd probably be a waste of time.

Polygraphs are more of an idiot weed out tool and it seemed to serve its function well in this case.

They said I'm untrustworthy because i said no.

Exactly how old was the "minor" during this? Depending on DOB she could have been 16, which is the AOC in PA.
