Ritter's Sex Charges From 2001 Unsealed
Times Union (Albany NY ) ^ | 12/27/2010 | Brendan J. Lyons

William Scott Ritter Jr., a former United Nations weapons inspector who gained renown for his criticism of U.S. foreign policy in the Middle East, contends his online sexual encounters with teenage girls were only fantasy.

Nearly two years ago, Ritter, of Delmar, watched his computer screen reveal that an anonymous person who had been exchanging sexually charged messages with him for 80 minutes was not a 15-year-old girl.

It was a cop from a small town in northeast Pennsylvania, alone in his station house and trolling the Internet for suspected child predators.

Ryan Venneman, a detective for the Barrett Township Police Department in Monroe County, had enough after Ritter allegedly transmitted streaming video of himself…

Pedophile and Hero to the left. No not Roman Polanksi, William Scott Ritter.

Let's not forget Democrat politicians trying to protect this man.

Albany NY attorney fired for supressing 2001 arrest of William Scott Ritter

COLONIE - The assistant district attorney who handled a 2001 misdemeanor charge against former U.N. weapons inspector Scott Ritter has been fired for failing to tell her boss the case ever even existed. "I was shocked and angered to learn that the case had been disposed of by one of my assistant district attorneys without consulting me," said Albany County District Attorney Paul Clyne. "Any arguably sensitive case should be brought to my attention."

Details of the specific charge against Ritter, who sources said was arrested by Colonie police and charged with a class B misdemeanor on June 15, 2001, were sealed.

On Friday, Clyne fired Assistant District Attorney Cynthia Preiser, who had worked in the DA's office for 15 years. She did not return calls for comment.

Previous Arrest From 2001

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.

At that time police said William Ritter was arrested before doing anything, but was facing multiple misdemeanor charges for trying to solicit an underage girl for sexual reasons. Ritter's attorney, Norah Murphy, confirmed that he was arrested in the town of Colonie in June 2001.

As soon as he was sprung years ago, I was wondering why he wasn't immediately hired as a distinguished professor of National Security or Foreign Affairs or Societal Ethics at some college in San Francisco, Berkeley, Madison or Denver.

After all, he's eminently qualified....he's liberal, he's educated, he's been published...and he likes student-types, more specifically, under-aged young ladies.

Ritter’s an ugly bastard, isn’t he. His privates are probably just as ugly as his face.

I remember reading all these details at the time. The Internet is a dangerous place in many ways.

This story only chronicles the episodes where he got caught. I wonder how many more victims the scumbag had?

Who but evil conservatives could doubt the veracity of this man who vouched that Bush was wrong about Iraq and Saddam Hussein ?

Maybe Whoopi will explain on the new Oprah Cannel (OWN) that it wasn’t RAPE rape, like she did with Polanski.

In the spring of 2001, Colonie police say Ritter twice showed up for meetings with what he believed would be teenage girls. The first time, Ritter was questioned but let go by police who had been posing as a curious 14-year-old girl.

Two months later, Ritter turned up at a fast-food restaurant, where police said they had set up a sexual meeting while posing as a 15-year-old girl. Ritter was arrested on a misdemeanor charge of soliciting a minor. Despite his national prominence, Ritter’s arrest was not publicly announced.

The media still doesn’t want to consider the possibility that he was blackmailed by Saddam into flipping his testimony.

And more people can probably tell you the name and political party of the man who was caught tapping his toe in an airport washroom than know that Scott Ritter has a history of sexual predator charges.

I ALMOST would believe some people who claim the Internet is all bs and you never know who you’re really talking to. Big however here though. Ritter went to meet them more than once and after being caught multiple times. That indicates a serious disorder on his part.

Oh plus he betrayed his country.

I guess he was amazingly flexible for a man of his size.....

I remember his “tours” if the children’s prisons in Iraq. Of course Saddam had dirt on him, they probably taped it.
