The Albany Times Union has much more and it gets graphic as to what he is alleged to have done. It also notes what happened in one of the earlier cases:

In 2001, Ritter was caught in a similar Internet sex-sting operation after he tried to lure a 16-year-old girl to a Burger King in Menands. The teenager actually was an undercover investigator posing online as a minor as part of the Colonie Police Department’s investigation of Internet sex crime, sources told the Times Union at the time.

Police charged Ritter with attempted endangerment of a child, a Class B misdemeanor that carries a maximum sentence of 90 days in the county jail.

Assistant District Attorney Cynthia Preiser agreed to have the case adjourned in contemplation of dismissal, which means that charges would be dropped if Ritter stayed out of trouble for a period of time. The case was later sealed.
