FBI ex-boss admits assaulting 6-year-old girl
Chicago Sun-Times ^ | 2-18-04 | N/A

WASHINGTON -- The former chief internal watchdog at the FBI has pleaded guilty to sexually assaulting a 6-year-old girl and has admitted he had a history of molesting other children before he joined the bureau for what became a two-decade career.

John H. Conditt Jr., 53, was sentenced last week to 12 years in prison in Fort Worth, Texas, after he admitted he molested the daughter of two FBI agents after he retired.

He acknowledged molesting at least two other girls before he began his law enforcement career, his lawyer said.

Conditt headed the internal affairs unit that investigates agent wrongdoing for the Office of Professional Responsibility at FBI headquarters in Washington from 1999 until his retirement in June 2001, the FBI said. He wrote articles in law enforcement journals on how police agencies could effectively investigate their own conduct.

FBI officials said Tuesday they had no information to suggest that Conditt had any problems during his career and he was never the subject of an investigation.

Tarrant County Assistant District Attorney Mitch Poe, who prosecuted the case, said he wanted a longer prison sentence and was skeptical of Conditt's claim that his molestation of children subsided during his FBI career.

A recently retired FBI whistleblower who brought allegations to Conditt's office that agents had not aggressively pursued evidence of sexual abuse in Indian country said Tuesday she now questions whether his personal history affected that decision.

''Before, it never made any sense,'' retired agent Jane Turner said of the FBI's decision to decline to further investigate her allegations. ''Now I can understand. Why in the world wouldn't you want to investigate that?''

Attorney Toby Goldsmith said he was concerned about the safety of his client in prison. ''He's not going to be comfortable in the penitentiary,'' the lawyer said.

I don't believe for a moment that a pedophile can molest two girls, then go twenty years clean as a whistle, then molest another when he retires. Not for a moment.

I don't either ,and I don't believe when he gets out at age 65 that he won't resume his activity.

Amazing it made it to trial.  You'd think he would have had an "accident."

He gets twelve years for this while a bishop in Phoenix runs over, kills a guy, flees the scene of the crime, and tries to get his car repaired without anyone knowing, is looking at three years confinement max, maybe just probation.  Something is seriously screwed up in this country.

''He's not going to be comfortable in the penitentiary,'' the lawyer said.

Ah, the poor, poor, pitiful pederast. As if anybody on Earth gave a rat's about this creep's comfort.

There should only be one sentence for diddlers: execution. It is an affront to the 10,000 years the human race has spent scratching and clawing its way up from the status of apes, to have to share our breathing air with this sort of mutant. Kill him, and all his NAMBLA pals - FBI or no. Kill him.

d.o.l.

when he gets out at age 65

Your math is faulty. He is 53 now, he got sentenced to 12 years in a State system. That means he'll probably get out when he is 57 or 58.

While time in the Federal system is now approximately what the judge pronounces, most state prisoners are up for parole after a third of their sentence.
