Partner of the Day: Samuel Logan Allegedly Sent Child Porn From the Office

Federal agents played a little game of “To Catch a Law Firm Partner” last week. After a few weeks of online chatting with Samuel P. Logan, 45, they lured the Foulston Siefkin partner to a mall to meet the 14-year-old girl named “stazie” to whom he thought he had been sending naked photos.

Instead of his online Lolita, Logan met up with some very-of-age FBI agents. He’s now been charged with enticing a minor to have sex and one count of sending and receiving child pornography, according to the Kansas City Star.

That’s all pretty outrageous, but the story gets much more scandalous…

Let’s run down the scandal checklist.

Prestigious Highly decent schools – check. Logan has degrees from Duke (B.A.) and the University of Kansas (J.D.).

Good law firm pedigree — check. He’s an employment litigation partner at Foulston, Kansas’s largest law firm.

Prestigious family ties – check. Logan may have inherited the legal itch from his father. When he was charged Thursday in federal court in Kansas, the federal judges in that state recused themselves, reports the Kansas City Star, because Logan’s father, James K. Logan, is a former 10th Circuit judge. James Logan was also a KU law school dean and is a retired partner at Foulston. Luckily for prosecutors, Missouri is just a stone’s throw away.

Salacious office details — check. Where did Logan like to do his chatting with his Lolita? Via NBC Action News:

Logan allegedly used a webcam multiple times to send pictures of him masturbating to an undercover cop posing as a 14-year-old girl. Logan allegedly encouraged the undercover officer to join him.

In some of the pictures, Logan could be seen in an office, with office furniture, framed certificates, and diplomas.

We wonder which employment matter got billed for that time.

He liked to take this “work” on the road with him, as well:

The conversations, according to the affidavit, happened while Logan was in the office, in a hotel room in Indianapolis and in an airport in Chicago.

Why didn’t Logan just do his nasty chats at home?

Married with two children — check.

If convicted, Logan “could face up to 15 years to a life sentence in prison. He could also have to pay up to $500,000 in fines,” reports NBC Action News. Foulston partner Jim Oliver told the Action Team that the firm was shocked by the charges. They’ve scrubbed Logan from their website. Hopefully, they’ll give his office a good scrubbing, too.
