TV Meteorologist Accused Of Soliciting Sex With Minor

MIAMI- South Florida TV meteorologist Bill Kamal was arrested Sunday in Fort Pierce as part of an investigation into sexual predators. Authorities say Kamal set up a meeting for sex over the Internet with what he thought was a 14-year-old boy. The boy was actually an undercover federal agent, police say. The St. Lucie County Sheriff's Office said Kamal had two condoms when he was arrested as well as two toys, one of which was a water gun. WSVN representatives said the station has fired Kamal. Kamal had been the Miami station's chief meteorologist. Investigators confiscated Kamal's laptop computer and a desktop computer, but will not say if they found anything illegal on the computers. Kamal is being held without bond in the St. Lucie County Jail.
