According to reports, Ritter was charged in a June 2001 Internet sex sting in New York, but that case was dismissed.
He had been charged with attempted child endangerment after arranging in an online chatroom to meet what he thought was a 16-year-old girl at a Burger King restaurant. The girl turned out to be an undercover policewoman.
Ritter said the criminal charge was a smear campaign in response to his criticizing U.S. policy in the Middle East.
The New York Post reported Ritter had been caught in a similar case involving a 14-year-old girl in April 2001, but that he was not charged.
Unfortunately, the MSM covered up Scott Ritter’s child molestation sting arrest because he was useful as foil to Bush on the “WMD Lie”.
Now, that he is no longer a ‘useful idiot’, it is perfectly fine for the MSM to publish his new arrest.
I thought the Burger King arrest happened much later than 2001. More like, 2003... unless he has an even earlier criminal history in this regard!
