Man charged with seeking fursuit sex with 15-year-old boy

Alan Berlin, a legislative aide to Pennsylvania State Senator Jane Orie, was arrested May 28th and charged with trying to lure a 15-year-old boy over the internet into having sex with him. According to Pennsylvania Attorney General Tom Corbett, “Berlin, using the screen name Alan Panda Bear, allegedly suggested dressing up in animal costumes and engaging in various sex acts with the boy.”

A video report from KDKA-TV in Pittsburgh identifies Berlin as “something called a furry - a person who likes to dress up as an animal", and goes on to tell that “furries hold an annual convention here in Pittsburgh and call it a harmless activity.”

According to The Pittsburgh Channel, investigators from Corbett’s office found two fursuits (pictured above) in Berlin’s home.
