A former federal employee has admitted trying to solicit a young boy for sex via texts and emails.

Carmelo Montanez, 54, a former computer scientist at the National Institute Of Standards And Technology in Gaithersburg, Maryland, sent texts and emails to whom he believed was a 12-year-old boy, News4 reported.

He asked him to sneak out of school at lunch to meet him in a nearby park and showed up with a bottle of red wine and a video game, investigators say.

But Montanez, who spent 30 years at the institute, was 'disappointed' when police showed up instead of a boy, Fairfax County Police lieutenant James Bacon told the network.

Montanez, who also acted as a coordinator for a youth soccer club in Damascus, responded to an online ad before he began to text and email the boy, the investigators' report states.

But his messages actually went to an undercover Fairfax police officer as part of an investigation by Fairfax County Police and the Inspector General at the US Department Of Commerce, of which the National Institute Of Standards And Technology is an agency.

He thought the boy went to Robinson Secondary School in Fairfax, Virginia, and asked him to get out at lunchtime to meet up with him at a park.

There, Montanez showed up with an open bottle of wine and a video game, investigators say.

'Above and beyond the fact that he just shows up, he shows up gift in hand, ready for action,' Lieutenant James Bacon told News4.

Instead of a 12-year-old boy, police officers showed up to meet Montanez at the park.

He was very disappointed when he got there and found out it wasn't a 12 or a 13-year-old boy he was coming to meet, it was us,' Bacon added.

Montanez told investigators he had drunk a glass of red wine before arriving 'to calm his nerves', the report states.

He pleaded guilty to one charge of attempting to engage in indecent liberties with a child and began a two-year sentence in jail earlier this month.

Further investigation revealed 'numerous adult pornographic images' on Montanez's two work computers but no child pornography, News4 wrote.

A spokeswoman for the National Institute Of Standards And Technology said Montanez didn't use any of the National Institute Of Standards And Technology computers during his conversations with the person he thought was a 12-year-old boy.

Montanez was also a coach and member of the board of directors at the Damascus Soccer Club, whose members range from three to 18 years old.

But police told News4 they had found no evidence of any other illegal activity on Montanez's part.

His defense attorney told the network that a full investigation had shown no ties to youth soccer.

The Damascus Soccer Club said in a statement: 'This hurts. Like being side-swiped by a truck, our community is both shocked and saddened by the actions of a former coach and former member of the board of directors.

'We want to be clear that this crime was not committed while Mr Montanez was a member of our club in any capacity. There is zero evidence that there is any connection between his crime and the multiple youth organizations he was a part of.

This one is a bit off, to me.

No child porn found, no history of child sex abuse or any kind of escalation charges (like minor offences slowly moving towards bigger ones). Nothing at all, really.

So why on earth did he do this? Is he really the world's most careful pedophile in that he's got a completely clean history and no child porn lying about (and they would have literally torn his life apart to find it. No stone would have been left unturned in that search)? Or at least, the luckiest pedophile ever for not having been busted with any other corroborating evidence?

I'm not supporting him. He clearly solicited this 'kid' and clearly had filthy intentions - but it just doesn't add up.

Pedophilia is, like it or not, a brain disorder. Its by NO means an excuse or justification for their desires or actions, but they are literally 'wired' differently to the rest of us.

This is why you can't cure or reform one. Just like you can't cure or reform 'gay'. Its just an intrinsic part of their nature. Its as much a part of who they are as my heterosexuality is to me. Just plain and simple, intrinsic.

So. If he's a pedophile, why now? Why no images, or online forum histories? Why no old charges or accusations or even rumours and suspicions?

Its as though he literally just decided to be a pedophile that day and got in touch with that 'kid'. And that does not run true for what it means to be a pedo.

Either he's successfully, deeply, very deeply buried his viewing and collecting of child porn and attempts at seducing other young boys, or well, I just don't have an alternative - but I don't think he was able to hide it. Not with all the abilities available these days with finding child porn and those sick sites online that pedophiles use.

Any task force or child sex abuse investigator is able to find that stuff, no matter how IT savvy the pedo may be.

It just doesn't quite seem to add up. Ultimately though, regardless of his base motivations, he solicited a young boy for sex and got sprung for it. I'm glad he's in jail.
