DC Cop Pleads Guilty in Child Exploitation Case | Washington DC News

A DC police lieutenant with 23 years on the force, Matthew Mahl, pleaded guilty to soliciting a minor after being caught in a Maryland sting operation — exchanging explicit messages and photos with someone he believed was a 15-year-old boy, even sharing his real name and uniform photo. The case, part of a child predator investigation show, led to his arrest when he showed up for a meet-up. Sentencing is set for September 30 after a psychiatric evaluation, and he remains jailed without bond — a stark reminder of the consequences when authority figures cross the line online.
