A Florida police officer was arrested for posing as a teenage girl on Facebook and soliciting young boys to send him pictures of their penises, authorities charge. 
 
 The role-playing 6-foot-3, 400-pound man promised to perform oral sex on his victims in exchange for the pictures and also sent a picture of a woman's breasts to one victim. 
 
 Bunnell Police Sgt. Michael Gerard Stavris, 30, of Palm Coast, was arrested Tuesday on two counts of violating the Computer Pornography and Child Exploitation Prevention Act and one count of criminal use of personal identification information, the Florida Department of Law Enforcement announced. 
 
 The cop conducted these acts for the past year and has been under investigation since December, according to authorities. 
 
 The man would solicit the male victims through the Facebook page and discuss what sexual acts they had committed, according to the arrest report. The page had between 30 to 40 friends younger than 18. 
 
 Posing as a girl, he asked for pictures of their penises. After the victims sent the photos, "she" promised to perform oral sex behind their schools. 
 
 In one instance, after a picture was sent, the officer then asked for a photo of the victim masturbating. 
 
 Another time, he asked a 14-year-old boy for a picture of him receiving oral sex. 
 
 Stavris was booked in county jail on $125,000 bail.

 BUNNELL POLICE DEPT. 2012 Document -- 3/26/14 -- The Florida Department of Law Enforcement Jacksonville Regional Operations Center arrested Michael Gerard Stavris II, 30, of Palm Coast, Fla., for two counts of Computer Pornography and Child Exploitation Prevention Act, and one count of criminal use of personal identification information. Stavris is a sergeant with the Bunnell Police Department and was arrested last night. 
 
 A Bunnell police sergeant who once worked as an after-hours school cop in Jacksonville is charged with soliciting high school boys for sex and sexual images by posing as a teenage girl on a fictitious Facebook profile. 
 
 Michael Gerard Stavris II, 30, of Palm Coast is charged with two counts of computer pornography and child exploitation prevention act and one count of criminal use of personal identification information, according to an charging affidavit. The third-degree felonies carry a maximum prison sentence of five years. 
 
 Stavris, who is 6-foot-3 and 400 pounds, is accused of stealing a 16-year-old girl’s identity and using it to solicit teenage boys, including sending them pictures of female breasts. After the conversations turned sexual, Stavris requested sexual photos from the victims, police said. 
 
 Florida Department of Law Enforcement agents arrested the eight-year police veteran Tuesday night. He was later released from the Flagler County jail on a $125,000 bond and has been placed on unpaid leave. He couldn’t be reached to comment. 
 
 The affidavit accuses Stavris of staging the ruse from at least November 2012 until November 2013. As many as 40 students younger than 18 were listed as friends on the Facebook page. Some were from Flagler Palm Coast High School, where Stavris graduated from in 2002. 
 
 About a half dozen victims mentioned in the affidavit were from Flagler County. FDLE officials said it's uncertain if there are other victims in Flagler or elsewhere. 
 
 FDLE officials made a public plea for anyone with information to call their office at 360-7111. 
 
 "We will do everything in our power to see that all potential victims are identified and this person is charged with each crime that's committed," said Dennis Bustle, special agent in charge of the FDLE's Jacksonville regional office. 
 
 Stavris joined the Bunnell Police Department near Palm Coast in 2011 after working at three other police agencies, said newly hired Bunnell Police Chief Tom Foster. 
 
 Stavris worked as a patrol officer for the Duval County school system from October 2009 to July 2010, school officials said. His job began after school hours were over and involved patrolling and responding to school-related calls citywide, said School Board spokeswoman Marsha Oliver. 
 
 He also worked as an Edgewater cop from January 2008 to October 2009 and with the state Department of Agriculture and Consumer Services from February 2006 to January 2008. His departure from those agencies had nothing to do with misconduct, FDLE records show. 
 
 Before becoming a police officer, Stavris worked for the Flagler County school system from 2000 to 2006 teaching activities and safety to children through the eighth grade, said his Duval County school board personnel file. 
 
 Foster said he was disappointed by the allegations against Stavris, but he declined to comment on the investigation. Stavris is one of 11 full-time officers with the agency. 
 
 “This is not a reflection of the other fine officers we have in Bunnell,” Foster said. 
 
 FDLE agents began investigating Stavris in December after a teen complained about his actions to a police officer, said Mike O'Neal, an FDLE special agent who supervises the cyber crime unit. Neither Bustle nor O'Neal would reveal further details. 
 
 The affidavit said that in one case, a student was asked to meet behind the school to get oral sex if he would send the requester a picture of his genitals. The picture was sent and the student was then asked to send a picture of him masturbating, the affidavit said.
– Teenage boys beware: That girl you're chatting to on Facebook could be a man—it could even be a 400-pound, 6-foot-3 police Florida officer like Sgt. Michael Stavris. Authorities say the officer posed as a teenage girl online, promising teen boys oral sex in return for pictures of their penises, the New York Daily News reports. Stavris, 30, has been charged with two counts of violating the Computer Pornography and Child Exploitation Prevention Act and faces up to five years in prison if convicted, reports the St. Augustine Record. Police say he had been under investigation for more than a year and had befriended around 40 students under 18 with his fake Facebook profile.
