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...>

This is a report from an Albany TV station. They apparently checked their archives and found that the arrest of "William Ritter" was announced by them, and they apparently got a mug shot before the case was made secret.

I believe the actual specifics of the charges have not been reported before, and that no mug shot was released. That alleged mug shot above is the famous/infamous "Scott" Ritter.

Go to the web site linked above for a video from the Albany TV station showing the mug photo, the Burger King, Etc.

Article is excerpted her because it's from and MSNBC affiliate.

but...but...but...according to Ritter..we got the wrong guy?

[Shermy]

Ping.

[Miss Marple]

LOOK AT THIS!!!

[Catspaw]

Good catch, Shermy! They can't release the file because it's sealed, but they can release Scott's pretty picture.

BUSTED!

FR at its finest. Exposing the CREEPS wherever they are operating.

The big question remains. Did Saddam's intelligence agencies find out Ritter was susceptible to blackmail on this subject? And how long has he been a man involved with small arms when he was claiming to be an expert on weapons of mass destruction?

Looks like Scott to me...this is every bit as strange as the cloning cult and even more disgusting. The media is so easy to take in.

According to police, the intent of that meeting was so that she could watch him perform sexual acts on himself.

Now I KNOW the Clintons were involved.

[Catspaw]

And how long has he been a man involved with small arms when he was claiming to be an expert on weapons of mass destruction?

You are soooo bad :-))

Did Saddam's intelligence agencies find out Ritter was susceptible to blackmail

Prize Winning Question of the Day!! Two cases of Sam Adams coming your way!

[Catspaw]

Oh, watch the video. They leave the mug shot of Ritter up for a long, long time.

[Shermy]

Now I KNOW the Clintons were involved.

Now that we know an actual underage girl was not involved, what could be the reason for keeping this case secret (if that would be a good enough reason in the first place)?

[cynicom]

Likes young girls huh???? Wonder if that is on his resume along with Marines etc etc.

[mgc1122]

That explains a lot ... he's child pervert and Saddam found out about it.

[LSUfan]

There have been persistent rumors that he was in fact caught in a sex sting by a foreign intel agency...

[Inspectorette]

so that she could watch him perform sexual acts on himself.

Bwahahahaha!!!
