Fifty four year old Larry Corrigan, who was the Director of Operations and Budget of the King County Prosecutor's Office for 25 years and a close friend and the driver of Prosecuting Attorney Norm Maleng, allegedly used internet chat rooms to solicit sex from an officer posing as a 13-year-old girl.
Larry Corrigan was arrested Wednesday and booked into King County Jail for investigation of attempted child rape and communicating with a minor for immoral purposes. Seattle police said Corrigan used two America Online screen names to chat with an undercover officer in the Internet Crimes Against Children Unit who was posing as a 13-year-old girl. Police said Corrigan asked the girl to meet him and perform a particular sex act and bragged that he'd had sex with another teen.
Police also allege that Corrigan sent the fictitious girl pornography and arranged to meet her at a video store on Capitol Hill Wednesday, where police arrested him. Court documents say Corrigan bragged he'd already "had sex with a 14-year-old girl from Kansas."
Corrigan was active in the election campaigns of numerous local Republican officials including Norm Maleng, U.S. Rep. Dave Reichert, former City Attorney Mark Sidran and judges Mary Yu, Bobbe Bridge and Faith Ireland. Larry Corrigan also was the Deputy Treasurer in Dave Reichert's 1997 and 2001 runs for King County sheriff. He was also a supporter without an official role in Reichert's congressional campaigns. Neither Corrigan nor Norm Maleng could not be reached for comment.
Larry Corrigan was released on his own recognizance; it helps to be friends with Dave Reichert.
