The suspect, Lee
Robert Moore, 37, was indicted on one count of attempting to
send obscene material to a minor, the department said in a
statement.
Moore, a resident of Church Hill, Maryland, was assigned to the
White House at the time of his arrest in early November and has
remained in custody since that time, the department said.
He allegedly communicated with the undercover officer several
times over a two-month period, including while he was at work,
and sent several messages that were "sexual in nature,"
according to the indictment.
Prosecutors said previously that Moore had communicated with as
many as 30 teenage girls, which he believed were minors, from
home and the White House for about a year.
