posted 7:22 am Fri January 11, 2008 - Arlington, Va.
Arlington County police have arrested and charged a Fairfax County Public Schools teacher and coach with attempting to solicit a minor for sex over the Internet.
Matthew Edward McGuire, 29, of Alexandria has been charged with attempted indecent liberties with a minor and use of a computer to solicit sex with a minor.
McGuire is a teacher and coach at Chantilly High School.
Arlington police say they began investigating McGuire several months ago, when he allegedly made contact over the Internet with someone he believed to be a juvenile. The person was actually an Arlington detective assigned to the regional Internet Crimes Against Children task force. Investigators say McGuire engaged in sexually explicit communications with the detective.
Detectives are investigating whether he had had any alleged inappropriate contact with other children.
