ALBANY, NY, Jan. 20 - Scott Ritter of Delmar is well known internationally as an outspoken, former U.N. weapons inspector. Now more information is coming to light about Ritter's past and a disturbing arrest.
Police released this mugshot following
the arrest of William Ritter in June 2001.
Lindsay Cohen reports.
COLONIE POLICE CANNOT comment on whether or not they actually arrested Ritter on charges he solicited an underage girl over the Internet. They say this is because if an arrest was made, it was sealed due to court proceedings.
<....Snip...>
However, NewsChannel 13 reported in June 2001 about an arrest of a 39-year-old William Ritter of Delmar on charges he tried to lure a 16-year-old girl he met on the Internet to a Burger King in Menands. According to police, the intent of that meeting was so that she could watch him perform sexual acts on himself.
At that time police said William Ritter was arrested before doing anything, but was facing multiple misdemeanor charges for trying to solicit an underage girl for sexual reasons.<...snip...>

There was only one short thread at RAT underground on this subject yesterday. I think they hope it all blows over due to the holiday. I don't even think Pitt commented on it or is going to anytime soon. They don't have the talking points worked out yet.

My favorite mugshot ever, is that one of Larry King being booked on bad check charges in the 70's.Howard Stern has this up in his studio.
(In fairness to Larry, all charges against him were dropped.)

I agree about the mug shot NOT looking like a mug shot. Could be be taken for a HUGE ride.....someone trying to DISCREDIT all who believe this story? Rush certainly acted like he didn't want much to do with it. hmmmmm.....kind of reminds me of the Carvile wife-beating story.
To: Shermy
Mark Fuhrman set him up.

You have hit the nail right on the head. That Scott Ritter would do something like this does not shock me one bit. However, the bigger question IMO is why a prosecutor would put at risk her job to protect him from the charges.
Something is fishy about this story and I'm hoping a good detective/reporter figures it out.

The DUmmies are now saying Karl Rove is behind the whole thing. Next they'll be saying it was a one armed man. They're funny people.

"I stand by my theory that he was useful to someone as an anti-administration voice, and they covered the arrest up to preserve his usefulness. Once 9/11 happened, he started showing up on all the talk shows, acting quite desperate. Silly me, I assumed at first that perhaps the Iraqis had a girlfriend they were holding hostage. Au contraire. The more I think about this, the more I am positive we need to find out about who in Albany was involved in this and why.
I agree with the supposition, and boy am I behind the curve on this one. I was totally unaware that he was producing a documentary.

Are we CERTAIN that Norah Murphy IS his atty??/ Is there a Norah Murphy?/ And where and to WHOM did she make that statement??? Anyone have a PICTURE of Norah Murphy?
To: Ann Archy
So, has anyone seen Scottie on the boob tube today? Or is he now persona non grata on the news nets?
To: Catspaw
You know why.Political pressure was brought to bear, especially if the lady was known to be ambitious and a rising Dem star....

With the exception FR, Fox news and a few other conservative sites, the story of his documentary financed by his Uncle Soddomite had been spiked by the leftwing mediots who own and control most of the media in America.

===================================
Even if he was the one-armed man, he would still be able to do what he wanted to do with the girl.
