An ex-FDNY firefighter, who pleaded guilty to putting obscene photos of himself on the Internet, was sentenced on Thursday to five years of probation.
Twenty-six-year-old Ryan Hogan was assigned to Engine Company 237 in Brooklyn before authorities arrested him back in 2004.
Police say the Long Island native used a firehouse computer, while on duty, to lure a woman posing as a teen girl to have sex with him.
That woman, however, was really a member of Perverted Justice, a group that puts volunteers into online chat room to pose as teens.
A judge ordered the 26-year-old to continue psychological treatment, as well as taking random polygraph tests as part of a plea agreement.
