TV station claims film shows ex-U.N. inspector caught in sex sting

An attorney for Scott Ritter confirmed that the outspoken former U.N. weapons 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, N.Y., suburb of Delmar.

The Schenectady Daily Gazette and New York Daily News report 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.

Today, 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 affiliate WNYT in Albany has news footage of Ritter being arrested. At the time the film was shot, the station was unaware the arrest was connected to Ritter, WNYT Executive Producer Beth Cohen told WND.

The station has a mug shot of Ritter along with the footage, said News Director Paul Conti.

"If it's not him, it's either his clone or a twin," said Conti.

The news director said the 16-year-old girl had been lured by Ritter to meet him at the Burger King restaurant 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.

Conti told WorldNetDaily that WNYT plans to continue airing their information. Footage of the arrest will be included in this evening's newscast, because it was acquired prior to the sealing order, he said.

As WorldNetDaily reported Saturday, Ritter is calling for the ouster of President Bush for what he feels are unnecessary and murderous actions in the conflict with Iraq.

"I would be in favor of the impeachment of President Bush for high crimes and misdemeanors," the 41-year old former Marine told WND. "Murder is a high crime and misdemeanor, and I can't think of any better definition than murder when he talks about American service members and putting them in a war which is not only illegal but is based on a foundation of lies."

"When you go to war you open up a Pandora's box, the results of which cannot be predicted," he said via telephone as he drove from his upstate New York home to appear on Fox News. "Therefore, there better be a darned good reason to go to war. It's got to be worth the sacrifice that you're asking others to make."

Caught on tape...

[Petronski]

Bwa ha ha ha ha ha ha!

[BillaryBeGone]

Couldn't happen to a nicer guy.

[wimpycat]

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

Do what?

[Shermy]

Heads up! Not only does the station have the mug shot, seen here earlier, but a video! Not up on their website yet.

[Petronski]

PING

[Straight Vermonter]

Now THAT is flexible!

[Reeses]

Sex, Fries, and Videotape

[BullDog108]

Do what?

Masturbate.

[Dog Gone]

I've told Ritter to go have sex with himself several times.

[doug from upland]

Oh my!

I will repeat an earlier comment on another thread. I feel very badly for his family. They didn't do anything.

[Rome2000]

If he's like his pal Klintoon the fact that he is a perverted sex criminal will have no effect on the majority of Americans.

The left is so depraved and desperate to Vietnamese the Iraq war that they'll still put Ritter on TV.

He'll show up like a spectre at the feast, with the left stating "its just about sex", and "VRWC".

[Petronski]

Yep, I agree.

Wow, though. Talk about a 'Bonfire of the Vanities' type meltdown!

[blam]

"Heads up! Not only does the station have the mug shot, seen here earlier, but a video! Not up on their website yet."

I guess this settles the question of who was arrested.

[Grampa Dave]

Thanks Jimbo, you have been doing great today!

[Fitzcarraldo]

Ritter has been a thorn in the side of this administration since day one. They found his achilles heel.

[wimpycat]

I figured that out, believe it or not, but why didn't they just say "masturbate"? All these euphemisms can cloud things up; if they had used the proper terms in the Paula Jones lawsuit, Billy Boy wouldn't have had any wiggle room...so to speak.

[Types_with_Fist]

"...to have her watch him have sex with himself."

Do what?

I suppose you'd have to be a Dem or one of their apologists in order to relate to that one, huh? Those enlightenmentnists are always coming up with knew stuff. They'll have classes in kindergarten in a decade or so. Kinky

Things like this make me think maybe there is a God....

FYI:

THE OFFICIAL "KEEP UP WITH RITTER STORIES" THREAD (All stories here)

Freepers would like to have a central place for all the Ritter stories.

[TLBSHOW]

he did what?

[wimpycat]

Just goes to show the difference between men and women. I can't think of too much that is less sexy than watching a guy masturbate. It's not the same the other way around, but there you go. Not only is he a perv, but he's a selfish perv--SHE wasn't going to get anything out of it; that is, if that's all he really wanted, which I doubt.

[TLBSHOW]

bttt

[wimpycat]

It's a Southern term. Do try and keep up.

[geaux]

Is there a link to the video?

[Humidston]

ROFLOL!!!!!

[VMI70]

Is he blind yet??

[F-117A]

I've told Ritter to go have sex with himself several times.

So, you're to blame for all this!

LOL

[nicmarlo]

Ritter, caught on tape PINGAROO!

[Eric in the Ozarks]

Those pesky reporters.
But, the Gipper once said, "There's a little good in everyone."

[nicmarlo]

Ritter, caught on tape PINGAROO!

[Lancey Howard]

Footage of the arrest will be included in this evening's newscast, because it was acquired prior to the sealing order, he said.

This is an NBC affiliate. There is no reason that footage shouldn't end up on Brokaw's newscast as well.

[dansangel]

I've told Ritter to go have sex with himself several times.

LOL!!!!

[nicmarlo]

Ritter caught on tape, pingaroo!

[dansangel]

Have you heard that he is denying all saying "it's a different Scott Ritter?" Heard that on Brit Hume this evening.

Spoken like a true dimocrap.

[nicmarlo]

Spoken like a true dimocrap

Yes, I've determined that to fit in with the dimocrap "without honor" society, they must all pledge to:

1. lie or commit perjury (even better)
2. commit fraud (especially for votes)
3. have no sense of decency, whatsoever (hold Funerallies)

[The Great Satan]

Bada-boom, bada-bing!

[glowworm]

Sounds the way the Gooberment does things.. Like Ruby Ridge.. suggest
cutting a shot gun barrel.. and then arresting for it.. Sounds
suspicious to me.. Maybe he was just curious what a "kook" girl like
this would Look like.. Scott is a handsome dude.. and if some girls
knew he was 'looking.. the line would go around the block.. VerrrrY
strage.. The dog didn't bark!.. Ooops that is Sherlock Holmes.. I get
stories confused....

[Miss Marple]

Has anyone seen the tape yet?

Of course, I have been told this is "no big deal." HAR!

[dansangel]

Add to that:
4) Treat the public like complete idiots by lying through your teeth with a straight face - repeatedly. The more you lie the more true it becomes.

[BOBTHENAILER]

Ritter, caught on tape PINGAROO!

Scotty really stepped on his Gephardt with this one!!!!!

[savedbygrace]

Sex, fries and Videotape

LOL. Funniest line in the thread.

[sweetliberty]

Have you seen this one?

[MHT]

Guess this destroys his "someone with the same name" alibi.

How did he get off the hook on this one? I heard of a retired military man who got picked up last January for the same sting and is already serving his sentence. Why did this joker get to go free--with a sealed record at that?!?!?!?!?!

[nicmarlo]

Bada-boom, bada-bing!

Can we say: "blow out, big time?"

[The Great Satan]

Scotty's got some 'splainin to do!

[nicmarlo]

Has anyone seen the tape yet?

I don't know, but here's what the article says (so SOMEONE will have to see it):

Conti told WorldNetDaily that WNYT plans to continue airing their information. Footage of the arrest will be included in this evening's newscast, because it was acquired prior to the sealing order, he said.

Of course, I have been told this is "no big deal." HAR!

Well, if it were up to FOX, it would be "we report, YOU decide!"

: )

[nicmarlo]

Scotty really stepped on his Gephardt with this one!!!!!
