Mary Murphy on Twitter:
"#New Former Chief of Suffolk County PD #JamesBurke, on parole for beating a burglary suspect who stole sex toys from his car, arrested for soliciting sex from man near Vietnam Memorial in Brookhaven. Burke long criticized for blocking #FBI in Gilgo case"

Sounds like Park Police had tips about activity ($exual) so they set up a sting. They had a heads up- so to speak and Burke was the first one to turn up. Apparently he was all in as he’s been charged with indecency along with solicitation and other charges.

It wouldn’t surprise me because apparently a lot of shady folks lived at Oak Beach and the accused sexual offender priest (next door neighbor of JBrewer, a former financial advisor,) -was good buds with accused sex offender Guiliani- who of course was good friends with and lawyer to another high profile sex offender and Epstein friend.
