Soccer referee allegedly sought sex act with boy ALBANY — A 53-year-old Clifton Park soccer referee was arrested and charged with attempting to induce a 14-year-old soccer referee into a sex act, authorities said. Thomas Gorsin was arrested Tuesday at a Colonie McDonald’s, where he allegedly expected to meet the boy. Instead, authorities were there to meet him, according to papers filed in federal court. Gorsin allegedly contacted the boy by e-mail in early July, saying he was a fellow referee. The e-mail went to an account controlled by the boy’s parents. Concerned about its content, they contacted police. Authorities then stepped in. Gorsin allegedly e-mailed repeatedly, often with sexual comments. Gorsin also allegedly said he met the boy at the North Colonie Empire Cup tournament in June. The tournament was prior to the beginning of the e-mails. Authorities said Gorsin was arrested just before 1 p.m. at the McDonald’s.
On another note, more less than accurate reporting from the Useless Gazette:

The 14 year old was not a "soccer referee" - the 53yr old was. I believe they made a typo - it should have been "...induce a 14 yr old boy" or "...induce a 14 yr old soccer player"

Since when do you expect the Gazette to check facts? Maybe it was a 14 year old referee (as they do allow older children to referee in some leagues) and maybe he holds a different, even higher position?

That's about as likely as the Gazette getting facts right. Maybe I'm wrong - if I am, I'll be the first to admit it - but chances are, I'm right, the G is wrong.
