Yeah, it's easy to keep an eye on him thanks to his widely distributed mug shot.

However, NewsChannel 13 reported in June 2001 about an arrest of a 39-year-old William Ritter of Delmar on charges he tried to lure a 16-year-old girl he met on the Internet to a Burger King in Menands. According to police, the intent of that meeting was so that she could watch him perform sexual acts on himself.

Reports from newspapers and television stations in Albany, N.Y., now indicate that outspoken former U.N. weapons inspector Scott Ritter allegedly sought to meet underage girls twice in a three-month period in 2001.

The Schenectady Daily Gazette and New York Daily News originally reported Ritter allegedly had an online sexual discussion with someone he thought was an underage girl. The "girl," however, turned out to be an undercover police investigator, according to the Daily News, whose sources spoke on condition of anonymity.

WTEN-TV, the ABC affiliate in Albany, is reporting that Ritter contacted the "teen-age girl" twice in the spring of 2001, and that he has since undergone court-ordered sex-offender counseling from a psychologist in New York's capital.

Sources also tell the Albany Times-Union that Ritter actually had two run-ins with police.

The first occurred in April 2001, as the former Marine reportedly drove to a Colonie business to meet what he thought was a 14-year-old girl with whom he had chatted online. Instead, he reportedly was met by officers, who released him without a charge.

Two months later, the source told the paper, Ritter was caught in the same kind of sex sting after he tried to lure a 16-year-old girl to an area Burger King restaurant.

An attorney for Ritter confirmed that the ex-inspector, who says President Bush should be impeached for his Iraq policy, was arrested a year and a half ago.

Norah Murphy said Ritter was arrested in the upstate New York town of Colonie in June 2001, but she would not respond to allegations that he was charged with soliciting an underage girl on the Internet. Ritter lives in the Albany suburb of Delmar.

Colonie police Deputy Chief Steven Heider told WorldNetDaily that he cannot confirm the allegations, explaining that if they were true, the details would have been sealed by a court order.

"A sealing order is exactly what it says it is," he said. "We're not allowed to talk about anything under sealed court order, and I'm not saying that one exists."

However, WND has learned that NBC television affiliate WNYT in Albany has video of a mug shot of Ritter after the arrest.

"If it's not him, it's either his clone or a twin," the station's news director, Paul Conti, told WND.

WorldNetDaily reported earlier that WNYT said it had footage of the arrest, but Conti clarified that the station has video of the scene, shot after the arrest.

Conti said the 16-year-old girl had been lured by Ritter to meet him at the Burger King in Menands, N.Y., in order "to have her watch him have sex with himself."

"Anyone who went to the Burger King that day could confirm the details of that event and report that a sting operation was underway that involved a decoy officer posing as a 16-year-old girl," Conti said.

When Scott Ridder goes to Burger King, instead of asking him if he wants to supersize his value meal, they instead ask him if he wants to underage it...

WETM Contact info. Ask them if they know Ritter is a sex offender who underwent pervert counciling as part of his plea bargain.

He was paid something like $300,000+ by an Irqi businessman whose name showed up on the Saddam Oil bribes list.

"Scott Ritter will be at Corning West High, in NY tonight at 7:30."
WHAT?!
I DO hope people know to keep their children AWAY from him, right?

Will Ritter be bringing the WMDs with him?

Get as many Burger King items as you can. Cups, napkins, wrappers -- just make sure the logo is prominent -- and make sure EVERYBODY has one.

Some ideas for signs:

"Pervert King: The Liar's Ready"
"Scott Ritter: Millions of Whoppers Told"
"At least Monica Lewinsky was legal!"
"14-year-old girls are NOT on the menu"

Not a very flattering picture, but then, mug shots taken after being arrested on charges for trying to solicit an underage girl for sexual reasons never are...

["In 1990, Scott Ritter divorced his wife to marry 19 year old Marina Khatiashvili, a Russian Model recruited and used by the KGB to sexually compromise US Intelligence Sources in the 1980's during the Nuclear Disarmament Period."]

I called Hannity's show about a year ago when Ritter was on as a guest. I requested to ask Ritter about the child solicitation charges and was informed that the only way Ritter agreed to go on air was if they prevented any questions about that. I said fine, may I ask about his Russian wife who worked for the KGB when they met. I was informed he wouldn't allow questions about her, either.

LOL that's perfect!

Got to talk to Tara Rosenbloom on camera from WETM-TV and will be in tomorrow's Corning (Mis)Leader.

The "Honk if you're a hippie" sadly got more honks than the "Honk if you're a Republican" sign.

Keep an eye on the young girls around Ritter, his reach goes beyond cyber pervert.

Just out of curiosity, why would the high school invite a pervert to speak? Couldn't they find a drunk like Blow Fish (Kennedy) or Flipper (Kerry)?

The librulls at the Corning MisLeader left out the protest, even though they made it a point to document the conversation between the Peaceful Gatherings rep. and myself.

The article was glowing with love for Ritter and his anti-war stance.

"...unbelievable!"

Why? A man who would betray his country is not going to be "above" molesting the bubble gum set.
