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.

In the first sentence did the attorney fly to Michigan or did he take some other means of transportation? When I read the sentence it’s kind of hard to figure out.

I don’t believe selling children for sex is socially accepted in Thailand (or SE Asia in general), or anywhere else, but they are known for having a child-sex industry

Evidently there is a child-sex industry here in the States. How is SEA different?

The child sex problem in Thailand is related to police and government corruption, families torn apart by drugs (largely meth), and "anything goes" sex districts.

The average Thai is as repulsed and angered as any American. I can recall a child rapist being killed by his neighbors just two years ago. The police never did find his killer. Children are loved, protected and valued in Thailand. The way Tiger Woods' Mother raised him and the way our daughter was raised is in keeping with Thai child care and not the exception.

Heck this is a well known fact is all. I don’t know why you are shooting me for stating these facts, I’m just the messsenger ( maybe you have an underage “girlfriend” over there ??)

You know, not only is that a cheap shot, you are accusing a fellow FReeper of being a pedophile. Do you really want to do that? That is one of the worst statements you can make about a man, and you implied it. You should beg for forgiveness and offer your abject apologies.

There's a better article here.

He flew, and they busted him at the Detroit airport for traveling in interstate commerce for the purpose of having illicit sex with a small child. He'd packed a Dora the Explorer doll, hoop earrings, and petroleum jelly.

Well, what do you expect ... according to biscuit janes FR Profile page... shes from Northern California by which we can easily assume she is a Liberal, Lesbian, Tree Hugger who most likely lives in a commune and doesn't bath or wash on a regular basis and is most likely infested with STD's ... it's obvious the Syphilis has further affected her Hippie LSD/Crystal Meth Fried Brain...*

If it gets that far (Hillary chosing a cabinet), my money is on Elliot Spitzer (nightmare dim Governor of NY) for AG.

PRAY

CEASING

that this doesn't happen.

Men from many nations travel to SE Asia for sex;

“Business” “men” from Japan and China,
men from Europe and Australia sex-tour there as well.

This isn’t just a rumor, it has been reported on and fought against for years.

I brought it up because the US Attorney could have
done some “touring” himself.

Thailand is currently combatting the problem with new laws,
and the USA is now prosecuting USA citizens that go abroad to have sex with children.

Just part of the see you next Tuesday crowd... I like that you didn't hit abuse and left her ignorant post up for all to see. I, too, thought about it.

Hey Biscuit, where is your apology for implying that expat is a pedophile? Please try and dredge up any semblance of grace you have ever been taught and use it to apologize for your totally tasteless and defaming comment.

And NO I wasn’t accusing nor assuming anyone here of being a pedophile— sorry if you took it that way.

I can’t help but wonder about a guy that lives there but denys the prevalance of a well known child sex industry in SEA ? Why deny the existance of the child sex tourism industry there?

And this FREAK isn't worth killing off? He needs to get the point...

...instead of a slap on the wrist.
A depraved mind like that is not worth keeping around.

Biscuit, TRY and act like a grown-up and quit using your adolescent Fem-Lib logic. You certainly impied that expat had an unde-rage SEA girlfriend. And this isn't a debate about the child sex tourism industry in SEA... It is about an American Federal AG who was caught soliciting for a five-year old girl. So quit trying to change the subject and just apologize already so you can begin to redeem yourself.
