Racine - Authorities seeking felony charges against Mayor Gary Becker say the 51-year-old married father of two, who ran unopposed for re-election two years ago, used the Internet to try to arrange a sexual liaison with what he thought was a teen girl.
Taken into custody at Brookfield Square mall Tuesday evening, Becker became one of the more than 475 people arrested by the state's 10-year-old Internet Crimes Against Children Task Force.
By now, it is relatively widely known that investigators from the Division of Criminal Investigation pose as youths on the Internet, looking for adults who want to have sex with minors.

"A former Racine alderman, Becker was elected mayor of the state's fifth-largest city in 2003. He ran unopposed in 2007 for the nonpartisan office and was elected to a second four-year term."
How does that work ?
Democrat caught breaking a law is a dog bites man story.
While he is certainly a democrat, most local offices in Wisconsin are officially non-partisan and there is no party affiliation involved in voter registration.
Only officials who run as a member of a party have their party affiliation listed in the paper.
Most local offices in Wisconsin are officially non-partisan. They have a single primary and the top two vote getters run in the general election.
It serves to make sure that dems always win in liberal areas.
Rule number 1 for child predators:
The girl on the Internet who wants to have sex with you is a police agent. No sane teenager would hang out on line to go out with 51 year old men.
I love it when one of the Dummy perverts gets nailed. And, as usual, the media won’t mention the DEMOCRAT party. It’s a good thing newspapers are a dying breed.
