The 71-year-old mayor of a southern Oregon town was arrested Sunday, accused of setting up a meeting to have sex with a 14-year-old girl who turned out to be a police officer.
Kenneth Lewis Barrett, who began his two-year term as mayor of Winston in January, spent two weeks exchanging Facebook messages with an online decoy created to target adults soliciting sex with children, court documents said.

“Hey, I’m dating an awesome 14 year old. She’s smart, she’s funny, she’s sexy, and now she tells me she’s an FBI agent. Is that cool or what!”
Thus ending his illustrious career as Mayor of a Southern town in Oregon.
Men who get caught in this sort of web are gullible
cretins. These teens on the web are almost always police
officers. - My cousin, a bigshot lawyer in a small town,
got caught up in this exact trap. He’s still in prison;
and most likely never collected on any of that “sex”. He
drove to the site to meet “her”, only landed in jail. Lost
his career, wife, daughters who were the same age as the
supposed “teen” he was set to meet. - Now, his only sexual
partner is probably “Bubba”; although he is a very large
man, about 6’6” tall and fairly fat. He’s lost EVERYTHING;
for NOTHING. Don’t know when he will get out of prison;
but he’s certainly had a very hard lesson. - My advice:
get yourself a wife and stick with her.

Daughter and SIL lived in Winston due to lower cost housing than nearby Roseburg. They never met and didn’t vote for this guy but there are some “trailer trash” areas in the town as well as nicer housing. Glad the got the creep.
That said, he is sick and needs to be put away....
You beat me.
I aspired to have a wife - a Christian wife, a conservative wife - but this former minister was always considered a too-boring Nice Guy by the Church Girls, who dated and married the Bad Boys instead. (Dating and marrying a non-Christian woman was not an option for me.)
Now many of those Church Girls are divorced, and some of their former Bad Boys are on their third-and-counting “Christian” wife.
It is one of the reasons I am now cynical about both Christian and conservative women: just too many choose a guy they think they can “reform” with their love (instead of letting Jesus Christ redeem him, while they look elsewhere for a man who is already spiritually-minded and does not need to be “reformed” by their love).
I could write a book about what I witnessed at a private Christian school, and, later, at two congregations while in church ministry.
Actually, I did once write a 132-page document and distributed it to the staff of clergy and board of elders at the second church, after they resolutely refused for two years to do anything about an abusive husband at my confidential entreaty. I lost all status there of course, but the woman eventually found the strength to leave him rather than commit suicide.
Meanwhile, he simply stole the money from their IRA, sicced the Sheriff on her on false charges so that he could get custody of the children (whom she had home schooled) so as to avoid child support payments, joined a different church, and found another credulous Church Girl to marry him... oh, and he filed for independent bankruptcy, to avoid the debt he had built up in their marriage, leaving her to hold that bag as well (for she did not feel free to file for bankruptcy under false pretenses).
By the bye, he was better liked at that former church than I was, though I served on church staff. Too bad he was an adulterer, a rapist, a liar, and a thief - otherwise, he was a great guy!
Rather than confront and admonish the Bad Boys, and the Church Girls who choose them, today’s non-judgmental churchianity prefers to confront and admonish (i.e., judge) a man like me for being judgmental.
Don’t let him see your post: he might see it, claim he was just emulating the Perfect Man, and get off scot-free.
Where I used to live, a lawyer with a wife and two tweens (one boy, one girl) tried to hook up with a “14 year old” on a field trip to the Statehouse. The girl was really an undercover decoy cop. The lawyer lived next door to one of my best friends at the time of the incident. Yes, he lost everything, and he’s still in jail. It’s exactly where jerks like this ought to be.
It’s Oregon. They’ll elect him governor before this is over
I do, too.
I did research and read a lot of articles pertaining to this perv and his little burg of Winston, Oregon, and found no political affiliation related to his mayorship.
This leads me to believe the mayors and council members of that town (population of about 5000) don't run with major political affiliations, but non-partisan (like the "Citizens Party" or the"Civic Party".
But I still bet you the farm he's a life-long, shiftless Democrat.

Fang and I have been married for 52 years. Here’s a little
known secret - EVERYONE is boring. - Due to jealousy and
lies, at sixteen, I had a false “reputation” at school. (I
had gotten out of my “place” in that society by getting
elected to a class officer position that “belonged” to the
“upper crust”, “rich” kids - and was made to pay for it
until I learned my “place”.
Fang’s family had been in business & his father a school
board bigshot; so I further overstepped my position in that
sad society by marrying him at 18 & him 21. He pressured
me to go to all my class reunions up until the 45th one
after he finally got enough of catering to that dynamic.
He had dated everything in a skirt by that time. Now, he
finally realizes that when you get old, you need each other
for practical purposes - in sickness and in health. He is
now going on 74 and I’m 70. I haven’t “reformed” him; &
he has had a bit of a problem with “7 year itch” that
backfired on him & he likes the women; but at this point
does not drag in venereal diseases on me (I don’t think
he ever did; but with AIDS now like it is he’s really not
that stupid.)
We’re going to a Baptist Church now where the preacher is
poised to “preach” at us about “attendance” when he would
do well to back off that old hammer. We live a 30-mile
round trip from church & go when we can & GIVE regularly
and generously as we can. - We used to go to a Baptist
Church closer to home; but the preacher was a controller.
He set out to lambast me through sermons about “attendance”
until he finally ran me off. Fang stayed there for a few
more months; but finally left there, taking a considerable
tithe with him. (I had more influence on him than that
preacher thought. I honestly suspect he had sort of played
with the idea that he would pair Fang up with a divorced
singer there and have the ideal setup.) He didn’t reckon
on the fact that Fang had been having a major surgery
every year for 25 years and needed a nursemaid. I’m the
nursemaid, and do not intend to allow any skank to
wriggle in and take what I have worked hard to help earn
for over 50 years. - I’ve lived my threescore & ten &
am looking for the return of Christ - SOON!
Hey, just ‘cause he got bounced out of Winston doesn’t mean that Powers, OR wouldn’t elect him.
