A legal secretary at Morrison & Foerster has been placed on administrative leave from the firm after his arrest the afternoon of Jan. 28 in Alhambra, California. A vigilante group known as the CC Unit claims it used a decoy social media account to lure the secretary, Micael Barnum, to the Los Angeles suburb to meet an underage boy for sex.

Barnum was arrested on a felony charge of contacting a minor with the intent to commit a crime involving the minor, according to the Los Angeles County Sheriff’s Department. He was bonded out of custody on Sunday.
