New Job Opening: Infoseek's Naughton arrested by FBI

Patrick Naughton, the Infoseek executive in charge of the alliance with Disney's Go Network, has been arrested by FBI agents and charged with using the Internet to solicit sex with a minor.

Naughton, well-known for his work on Sun's Java language before going to work for Infoseek, was arrested Thursday at the Santa Monica Pier, where he was expecting to meet a 13-year-old girl for sex, the Los Angeles Times reported Saturday.

The newspaper said Naughton used the screen name "Hotseattle" to send lewd e-mail messages to an FBI agent posing as the teen. Naughton, 34, lives in Seattle.

The arrest capped a six-month investigation, during which Naughton bragged of another encounter with a teen. He also led undercover authorities to a Web site containing a picture of his genitals, the Times reported, citing an affidavit filed in Federal Court.

Disney (NYSE:DIS) named Naughton executive vice president responsible for content and technology for Go Networks in January.
