Another victim of Arab boy/goat love addiction.
It still smells and sounds like entrapment to me. What he did in the past is just that. He was lured, teased and enticed into the behaviour that eventually convicted him. Then again, where do you draw the line between investigation and anything else?
WITCH HUNT, because nothing else could be pinned on him.
But the “girl” he was chatting with WAS an adult pretending to be a teen who liked older men.
Ritter is arguably as sleazebag, but the notion that online chat, even video chat including lewd behavior, with someone who is not in fact a minor constitutes unlawful contact with a minor is a perversion of reason, law and justice. Evidently thinking about having sex with a nubile 15 year old is now a thoughtcrime.
So, why is this NOW in the open? Does he know OTHER stuf and needs to be discredited??
What is the rest of this story? It is too convenient.
I thought nobody would ever ask.
You see, while he was searching for the WMDs,
...he found the birth certificate.
Cheers!
I got that from the story.
But the last time it was shushed up.
Not now. I was wondering, since I don’t think that kind of thing is a coincidence.
LOL!!!
So...it's cool with you if a pervert pays to a screw a 20 year old prostitute when he believes he's a 14 year old. Is it cool if he's paying for a gal they claim is 19 when she's really 15?
You paleoFReepers amaze me!
Its about time, and how many years did that take...pervert employed by UN
Sheesh,that man is a true jack of all trades.
“the defense portrayed Ritter as a family man ...”
Yep, just your average dedicated family man who picks up minors online. Repeatedly.
Actually, my objection was to the tactics of the state in this case. If the state wants to skate this close to entrapment to catch ephebophiles, they could at least provide part-time jobs to teenagers so that those caught would actually be guilty of unlawful contact with a minor. Should someone be guilty of grand theft because they thought the thing they were stealing was worth $100,000, when in fact it was worth $0.50? I think not. No more is online chat with an adult unlawful contact with a minor, even if the one chatting thinks he’s chatting with a minor.
I also do have problems with the bizarre state of sexual mores as reflected in the law. What would be sensible would be to outlaw fornication. If our society is not willing to do so, the fiction that sexually mature human beings are “children” because they have not reached some arbitrarily defined age is an absurd basis for the definition of crimes. To extend those crimes to include crimes on the basis of pretended age is even more outrageous, and as I said, a perversion of reason, law and justice.
Just another immoral liberal jerkoff
Thou protesteth too much. Did David Hansen catch you on camera once on Dateline?
