RACINE - Racine Mayor Gary Becker has made an initial court appearance on five felony charges, including possession of child pornography and trying to entice a minor.

The criminal complaint against Becker is disgusting. It talks about a sexual encounter he wanted to have with a 14-year-old girl. But that girl was actually an investigator. And the next day, the same agent arrested Racine's Mayor.

Mayor Becker is used to a lot of attention as Racine's top leader.

But when TODAY'S TMJ 4 Reporter Mick Trevey wanted to ask questions this time, he just tried to get away from the cameras.

Today we learned the sick details about what Becker is accused of doing.

The criminal complaint says Becker had an Internet chat with a special agent posing as a 14-year-old girl. It says he told her "I would luv to geta hotel room and have lots of fun with u." He also asks her "would you date a married man?"

Becker allegedly set up a meeting with this young woman at Brookfield Square Mall where police arrested him.

He even signed a transcript of the chat while he was being arrested, admitting he was involved.

On Thursday, Becker's office at City Hall sat empty. City Council President David Maack is still considered the acting mayor until Becker either shows up for work or resigns.

City Administrator Benjamin Hughes says that hasn't happened yet, "to my knowledge, i know Mayor Becker has not communicated with me or personally communicated with any other City Hall staff members."

This all came out because Becker's personal laptop had a problem. So he brought it to a Racine City IT worker to have it fixed. That worker found a pornographic picture and reported Becker to police. That started the investigation.
