In a December 4 press release from Westchester County's District Attorney's Office, the details of the case are explained in typically vague and predictable terms: In an undisclosed online chat room, an investigator posing as a 15-year-old boy allegedly engages Dr. Clifford Berken, a Greenwich-based gastroenterologist, in conversation. Over two days, the two discuss "various sex acts on a number of occasions," and then Berken offers "to meet the 'boy' in downtown White Plains." When Berken arrives for the meeting, he is placed under arrest.
