DETROIT -- A U.S. Justice Department official has been arrested on suspicion of traveling to Detroit over the weekend to have sex with a minor.
John David R. Atchison, 53, an assistant U.S. attorney from the northern district of Florida, was arraigned in U.S. District Court in Detroit Monday afternoon.
An undercover officer posed as a mother offering her child to Atchison for sex, according to police.
Prosecutors said Atchison flew from Pensacola, Fla., to Detroit on Sunday intending to have sex with the 5-year-old girl.
He was arrested at Detroit Metropolitan Airport.
He is charged with enticement of a minor to engage in sexual activity.
According to authorities, Atchison made contact with a detective working undercover for the Macomb County Sheriff's department's.
The detective, acting as the child's mother, allegedly arranged a sexual encounter between Atchison and her 5-year-old daughter, police said.
In deposition, detectives said Atchison suggested the mother tell her daughter that "you found her a sweet boyfriend who will bring her presents."
The undercover detective expressed concern about physical injury to the 5-year-old girl as a result of the sexual activity. Detectives said Atchison responded, " I am always gentle and loving; not to worry, no damage ever, no rough stuff ever. I only like it soft and nice."
The undercover detective asked how Atchison can be certain of no injury. He responded, Just gotta go slow and very easy. I've done it plenty,"according to detectives.
The Macomb County Sheriff's Department and the FBI were a part of the investigation.
Just shoot the bastard!!!!
What world do I live in?
Holy Father protect my family, in Jesus name I pray.
not Florida again!
Didn’t this guys brother get in a lot of trouble for something too? The name sounds familar...
Maybe Saddam had an idea there with the people-chipper thing. As it is, the only true justice we can hope for in this case will come at the hands of his cellmates and I doubt slow or gentle is part of their vocabulary.
I thought we had reached an all-time low. Guess it can even go lower. How disgusting. I blame gay activism for opening the door to wanted acceptance of perverts.
Try him, and if convicted send him to a stallion station to be used as those studs see fit. Then he will understand about injuries.
Baseball bats at the ready!...................Wooden, only, of course.........
This guy needs to go.
Democrat, most likely. But a Clinton or Carter appointee?
This guy is toast. About all you can hope for is that his boasts concerning experience were baseless.
I’m sure he’s just *cough* doing research for a book ...
To bad Gonzales didn't fire this one.
Kill him.
...I’m Chris Hansen...
I think Saddam got the idea from an American movie........
Have the trial tomorrow and hang him if he is guilty tomorrow.
The only bright spot I can see in this is that I live in Macomb County and it shows that our Sheriff’s department is serious.
“not Florida again!”
RELAX!!!
The undercover cop was from FLORIDA.
The perp was from one of your beloved northern cities. DETROIT!!!
