Former Fire Chief Receives Probation Sentence
He was accused of engaging in "online sexual activity" with a minor last year.
A South Farmingdale man was sentenced to five years probation Wednesday, after being arrested last year for sending sexually explicit messages online to a minor, according to the Nassau County District Attorney's Office.
Kevin McClorey, 46, is a former South Farmingdale firefighter, fire chief and chairman on the Board of Fire Commissioners.
Last July, an undercover police officer from Phoenix, Ariz. turned McClorey in to Nassau police for engaging in “online sexual activity with someone he believed to be a 14-year-old child,” the police report read.
