54-year-old elementary school principal Stephen Paulsen
turned to the Internet to find sex, after travelling with his wife to visit his
parents who live in Boynton Beach. On this occasion he allegedly was looking
for a boy under the age of 16. What he got instead was an undercover detective
- and now he's in some serious trouble.
According to authorities in Boynton Beach, Florida, Paulsen
began chatting on the Internet with someone he believed to be a boy under the
age of 16. The undercover detective posing as the boy said Paulsen sent him a
private message - using the handle 'Tony Texas' - asking what he liked to do
with guys.
Paulsen allegedly told the 'boy' that he 'liked newbies - so
anxious to explore it all.'
Paulsen, the principal at Morton Elementary School in
Arlington, Texas, went on to say he was in Florida visiting his parents. He
also talked about how he was nervous because the 'boy' was younger than 17
years old and he was older than 21.
Then he asked the 'boy' when his next birthday was.
Paulsen then allegedly sent the boy multiple pornographic
images of other men over the course of several days. He also sent him multiple
sexually explicit text messages.
On Tuesday, Paulsen sent the 'boy' a message saying it was a
'good day to lose your virginity' and asking how long he would be home alone.
The detective then gave Paulsen an address where he and the
boy could meet.
When Paulsen arrived at the agreed upon address he was arrested.
'I f**ked up - my wife is going to kill me,' Paulsen told
the arresting officers.
At the time of his arrest, Paulsen had two condoms in his
pocket.
Paulsen has been charged with transmission of harmful
material to a minor, online solicitation of a minor and traveling to meet a
minor to commit an unlawful sex act, all felonies.
Records show no bond amount has been set for his case
Another court appearance is scheduled Friday.
