A Harvard Law School librarian was arrested on several felony charges on Friday after police say he tried to arrange a sexual meet-up with a deputy posing as an underage girl in Colorado.
Yahya Hussein Ahmad Melhem, 47, exchanged a number of sexually explicit messages and webcam video online with the undercover deputy, according to a Gilpin County Sheriff’s Office criminal affidavit.
Melhem said he would rent a car and drive to meet the “girl,” according to the affidavit. He was arrested when he arrived in a rented vehicle.
Melhem was arrested on felony charges of criminal attempted sexual exploitation of a child, Internet sexual exploitation of a child, Internet luring of a child, and criminal attempted sexual assault of a child. He posted $10,000 bond and is due back in court on Nov. 30.
Melhem had worked as a librarian for Islamic Law at Harvard Law School, according to staff directories. He was in Denver to attend the Middle Eastern Islamic Librarian conference, according to the affidavit.

He won’t serve time. Remember the Utah professor who was caught watching child porn on a flight to Boston? He resigned his job but was sentenced only to five years probation—no jail time.
Hilarious!
Shockingly, they apparently did. CYA and all that.
Pray tell, has anything good EVER come from Islam?
EVER?
Setting aside the moslem aspect of this incident, am I the only one who is troubled by deputies posing as underage girls and exchanging racy messages with men?
Somehow this passes legal muster as not being entrapment, but I do not understand why it does. Where is the crime here? There was no underage girl ever involved. The real harm was to the taxpayers who were paying the salary of the pervert cop.
The very offensive nature of the intended crime causes people to look past questionable methods used. It did an objective good in this instance but we probably won’t like the precedent set at some point down the road, when it inevitably is extended.
Anyone else notice the frequency with which really detestable, and really stupid, reports originate from the halls of “elite” acDUMBia?
The Religion of Peace is a CULT of Child Sex or beastiality.
