Widoff, according to the Navy, was assigned as a psychologist to the Naval Health Branch Clinic in Groton from December 2017 through June 2021. Widroff was living in Norfolk, Va., with his wife at the time and previously assigned as a psychologist for the USS Gerald R. Widroff, court records show, used the username "mikenavyguy78," and display name "M Sailorguy," on Snapchat. One of the photos Widroff sent, authorities said, was of himself from the waist down in a Navy uniform with his genitalia visible. The undercover agent, posing as a 14-year-old girl, started a conversation with Widroff, which continued on Snapchat and escalated to the point where Widroff sent nude photos and obscene videos, asked to meet the undercover agent to have sex. NCIS was conducting an undercover online child exploitation operation in May when authorities said an undercover agent noticed a post on the Whisper social media network of a man wearing a Naval officer's uniform with text reading something to the effect of "I fantasize about fraternization and other UMCJ (Uniform Code of Military Justice) violations," court records show. Police said he sent nude photos and videos to an undercover NCIS agent. Navy Lieutenant Commander Michael Andrew Widroff, 33, is charged with trying to produce child pornography and attempting to coerce a minor to engage in sexual activity in Snapchat messages, an affidavit for Widroff's arrest shows.
Attorney's Office in the Eastern District of Virginia has now joined with the Naval Criminal Investigative Service in a call for potential victims to come forward. 27-Federal authorities have arrested a Navy psychologist, who previously worked at a Navy health clinic in Groton, on child exploitation charges.
