Update: TV station has video of Ritter bust at BK

TV station claims film shows ex-U.N. inspector caught in sex sting

An attorney for Scott Ritter confirmed that the outspoken former U.N. weapons inspector, who says President Bush should be impeached for his Iraq policy, was arrested a year and a half ago.

Norah Murphy said Ritter was arrested in the upstate New York town of Colonie in June 2001, but she would not respond to allegations that he was charged with soliciting an underage girl on the Internet. Ritter lives in the Albany, N.Y., suburb of Delmar.

The Schenectady Daily Gazette and New York Daily News report Ritter allegedly had an online sexual discussion with someone he thought was an underage girl. The "girl," however, turned out to be an undercover police investigator, according to the Daily News, whose sources spoke on condition of anonymity.

Today, Colonie police Deputy Chief Steven Heider told WorldNetDaily that he cannot confirm the allegations, explaining that if they were true, the details would have been sealed by a court order.

"A sealing order is exactly what it says it is," he said. "We're not allowed to talk about anything under sealed court order, and I'm not saying that one exists."

However, WND has learned that NBC affiliate WNYT in Albany has news footage of Ritter being arrested. At the time the film was shot, the station was unaware the arrest was connected to Ritter, WNYT Executive Producer Beth Cohen told WND.

The station has a mug shot of Ritter along with the footage, said News Director Paul Conti.

"If it's not him, it's either his clone or a twin," said Conti.

The news director said the 16-year-old girl had been lured by Ritter to meet him at the Burger King restaurant in Menands, N.Y., in order "to have her watch him have sex with himself."

"Anyone who went to the Burger King that day could confirm the details of that event and report that a sting operation was underway that involved a decoy officer posing as a 16-year old girl," Conti said.

Conti told WorldNetDaily that WNYT plans to continue airing their information. Footage of the arrest will be included in this evening's newscast, because it was acquired prior to the sealing order, he said.

As WorldNetDaily reported Saturday, Ritter is calling for the ouster of President Bush for what he feels are unnecessary and murderous actions in the conflict with Iraq.

"I would be in favor of the impeachment of President Bush for high crimes and misdemeanors," the 41-year old former Marine told WND. "Murder is a high crime and misdemeanor, and I can't think of any better definition than murder when he talks about American service members and putting them in a war which is not only illegal but is based on a foundation of lies."

"When you go to war you open up a Pandora's box, the results of which cannot be predicted," he said via telephone as he drove from his upstate New York home to appear on Fox News. "Therefore, there better be a darned good reason to go to war. It's got to be worth the sacrifice that you're asking others to make."

The only rational explanation is that Ritter's parents forgot they'd already named one twin William Scott when it came time to name the other one.

LOL! I hadn't thought of that!

This changes everything. He could claim entrapment once, maybe. But to fail to heed the warning, and do the same thing again, is fencepost dumb.

I read he has two teenage daughters. I'm be surprised his wife didn't run away really fast with the girls after the arrest.

Drudge still doesn't consider this newsworthy, apparently.

I think Drudge and others are holding back until Ritter arrives in Baghdad later this week.

Ironic. One of the few examples of when what goes around doesn't come around. Apologies if anyone else used the same punch line.

LOL, may we never see this creep on TV again!

Fine upstanding officer and gentleman, husband and father. Then he has the gall to speak of lying by others.

True...However once they knew of the arrest and said and did nothing, then they are complicit.

And now not only do we know Ritter is a liar, he's also not mentally reliable. He says he has "no knowledge" of this.

This is something I'd remember, you?
