AN assistant US attorney from Florida has been arrested for allegedly flying to Michigan to have sex with a five-year-old girl.

John D.R. Atchison, 53, was arrested after he participated in internet conversatons with a detective posing as a mother who was interested in letting men have sex with her young daughter, Associated Press reported.

According to court documents, Atchison initiated the online chat on August 29. His correspondence with the detective lasted several weeks.

At one point, Atchison allegedly said: "I'm always gentle and loving; not to worry; no damage ever; no rough stuff ever ever".

He has been charged with using interstate communication to entice a minor to have sexual contact, and travelling across state lines with the intent of engaging in illicit sexual contact. If convicted of both charges, he faces up to 40 years in prison, Associated Press reported.

One of those fundamental FR lessons: It always pays to read the entire thread before posting.

It's not nearly as satisfying to do it that way. Knee-jerk reactions tend to be the most fun kind, if not the most accurate or intelligent. I certainly do it myself from time to time.

Each United States attorney is subject to removal by the President.

How about assistant U.S. attorneys?

It is evil. He must also be not the brightest to use the Internet. Has he never watched “Dateline”?

“..prayers go out to them.”

Prayers? Isn’t that the joining of Church and State? Quick, call the ACLU.

In all fairness, I've heard she looks at least 8...

Sorry to say he is an R...at least according to the gloating going on at D blogs.

Robert Byrd, however, can be forgiven his past sins...

Not that I am advocating forgiving this *&*()(...I saw find him a big mean boyfriend in the pen

He’s burned toast, and he knows it.

“I’m always gentle and loving; not to worry; no damage ever; no rough stuff ever ever,”

Dear God in Heaven, this weirdo has done it before.

A certain Roy Atchison is was president of the Gulf Breeze Sports Association, according to this About page, retrieved from the Way Back Machine. The current version of the page omits the list of officers.

The GBSA organizes lots of wholesome activities for kids to play in.

Sorry, it has been looked up and he is a Republican.

I have searched high and low and I cannot find one newspaper story or media report that states the FACT that this predator is a DEMOCRAT.

How do we know he is a Democrat? (I'm not saying he isn't; I just don't know one way or the other.)

Apparently, as evidenced by this thread, the United States also has a child-sex industry.

[expatguy]

"I read somewhere that if you know any men who like to travel alone to places like Cambodia and VietNam, odds are they are into child sex. Thailand too. ... Thankfully I don’t know anyone like that.."

That is an awfully broad stroke of the brush there FRiend.

I've traveled alone to those places and I can assure you that I'm not a pedophile.

In several conversations, he said he wanted to have oral, vaginal and anal sex with the woman's fictitious daughter, Hackel said. "I'm always gentle and loving; not to worry; no damage ever; no rough stuff ever ever," Atchison said at one point, according to an affidavit filed in court.

I hope he meets up with a cell mate that isn't gentle, loving & causes much damage & rough stuff for many years to come.

I agree wholeheartedly.

I read somewhere that if you know any men who like to travel alone to places like Cambodia and VietNam, odds are they are into child sex. Thailand too. Thankfully I don’t know anyone like that..

Unfortunately, you don't know anything much either . It seems from this thread that if you want child sex, you should travel to the US. Why would you make a comment on something you don't know anything about but 'read somewhere?' Your post reveals a lot about you and your willful ignorance but not much enlightenment. Child sex is prosecuted in South-East Asia just as it is here. But I don't think you want to know that.

And did you know that single American men travel to Europe, South America, and even Iran? They are called businessmen. What a broad brush you use to paint your fellow Americans.

[SandwicheGuy]

Evil and not to mention STUPID

Man, I agree. And this guy is a FEDERAL Attorney? Aren't they supposed to be the cream of the cream? And one of them does THIS? Even I am amazed.
