Jailed federal prosecutor hangs himself

The Detroit Free Press is reporting that federal prosecutor J.D. Roy Atchison of Gulf Breeze, who was charged last month after allegedly flying to Detroit to have sex with a 5-year-old child, committed suicide today.

The newspaper cited authorities who said Atchison hanged himself this morning at the federal prison in Milan, Mich., where he was taken after previously trying to commit suicide at Sanilac County Jail.

They said the 53-year-old Atchison, who worked in the U.S. attorney’s office in Pensacola, had been housed in solitary confinement and was under close supervision, the newspaper reported.

Lawyer James Thomas of Detroit said he planned to ask a federal judge to dismiss the charges against Atchison, the Free Press reported.

Greg Miller, U.S. attorney for the Northern District of Florida, issued the following statement in response to Atchison's suicide: "Our thoughts and prayers are with Roy’s family and friends. We hope that with the passage of time, they can find some measure of healing."

“We think he is not a risk to himself"

Oops.

Oh well.

And since that won’t placate you.

@#$%off, don’t post to me. You are a bleeping piece of bleep.

You want to defend garbage that tries to @#$%$ a 5 year old, I can only hope someone “corrects” that behavior with a 38.

Those people that really do commit the crimes are released almost the same hour they are booked yet I know a guy who was arrested for taking a leak on a tree outside a party he was attending and because there were children a couple of houses away, when the cops busted him he was convicted and now has to register as a class two sex offender.

Your story doesn't pass the smell test. Nobody is called a sex offender for "taking a leak on a tree outside a party he was attending". What was he charged with and convicted of?

We know from the MySpace and Yahoo profiles that allegedly were created by Atchison that, in addition to his apparent penchant for sex with extremely young children, Atchison also had a fetish for teen and adult females who practice infantilism, which has been described as “Enjoyment from infant-related things. Pretending to be a baby, wearing diapers (see diaper lover, speaking like a child (ie “I sowwy”), sleeping in a crib. Wide range of things, but all infant-related.”

It appears that Atchison, using the yahoo email address of fldaddy02 [at] yahoo.com, posted two replies to postings on the message board made by persons representing themselves as female “Adult Babies’ interested in making contact with men.

(CNN) — An assistant U.S. attorney from Florida who was involved in coaching youth sports and described himself as a “family man” is charged with traveling to Michigan for the purpose of having sex with what he thought was a 5-year-old girl, according to court documents filed in the case.

John David Roy Atchison, 53, was arrested Sunday upon his arrival at the Detroit airport, according to an affidavit filed by an FBI special agent in the case. Atchison had been communicating online since Aug. 29 with a woman he believed was the mother of minor children who was interested in allowing men to have sex with the children, according to the affidavit from Special Agent Matthew Bowman filed in U.S. District Court for the Eastern District of Michigan. However, the woman communicating with Atchison was in reality Detective Linda Findlay from the Macomb County, Mich., sheriff’s office.

During the initial chat, Atchison, using the user name “fldaddy04,” told Findlay that he was “very much a family man,” the affidavit said. In online communications from Aug. 31 through Sept, 13, Atchison “expressed a desire to engage in illicit sexual conduct with Det. Findlay’s fictitious five-year-old daughter,” court documents said.

The complaint is here...

Before heading north on Continental, fldaddy04 im’ed Det. Findlay to tell her “daughter”, “you found her a sweet boyfriend who will bring her presents”.

They x-ed out his driver’s license number, but you can get his SSN off his house deed at the Santa Rosa Recorder’s site (FL residents be aware).

After several days of setting up the phony tryst with the undercover cop, he was apprehended at an airport in Michigan after flying from Florida carrying a Dore the Explorer doll, hoop earrings, and a jar of Vaseline.

This is called 'caught red-handed'.

Do some research before you post.

I am unsure about posting urls (not sure if it is okay)

It's fine on FR to post URLs to content that is legal (i.e., don't post a URL to an example of kiddie porn). If the link is to something that is shocking or gross (like a beheaded hostage), include a warning for those with weak stomachs.

He would certainly qualify to be a republican candidate for Prez, especially if he could beat the Beast. :0)

I can’t remember his exact words but they were chilling.


Yep, not exact, but he told the undercover cop that he had never injured a little girl, that he was always gentle.

I guess as gentle as child rape can be.

I personally believe in the rule of law, not the rule of lynch-mobs.


That’s not how you sounded on one of the Jena threads. As for this guy, he claimed to have raped little girls before. That he killed himself only lends credence to his guilt.
