A former Pennsylvania state Senate staffer has been arrested on charges that he wanted to engage in sex acts with a 15-year-old boy while dressed in a panda costume, according to state Attorney General Tom Corbett.

Alan David Berlin, 40, who worked for Republican Sen. Jane Orie, used Internet chats and instant messages to proposition the Harrisburg-area boy, including talking about dressing up in animal costumes and engaging in various sex acts, Corbett said in a statement Friday.

Berlin approached the boy and in online talks in April and May, discussed various sex acts with the boy and proposed that Berlin travel to the boy's home and have sex with him in the back yard while his parents slept, Corbett said.

Berlin also asked for nude photos of the boy and offered to arrange a meeting between the boy and another man, offering to get them a hotel room if Berlin could take pictures of them having sex.
