Michael Rapino, a 48 year old Queens postal worker from Ridgewood, was busted in an Internet sex sting after arranging a liaison with a 14 year old boy, who turned out to be a detective. Rapino, a husband and father with no arrest record, had numerous obscene online exchanges with the undercover detective posing as a boy. He is charged with disseminating indecent material to a minor and attempted criminal sexual act. He was arraigned on the charges yesterday and a judge ordered him held in lieu of $20,000 bail and set his next court date for tomorrow.
