A RENEGADE weapons inspector who embraced Saddams vile regime has been exposed as a child sex pervert.
Scott Ritter, 41, has TWICE been caught by cops as he waited to meet schoolgirls he lured in internet chat rooms.
He wanted one of the girls, who was 16, to watch him commit a sordid sex act. The other girl was just 14.
Sicko Ritter, a married dad-of-two, has been branded a traitor in the US for spouting pro-Iraq views.
And the former US marine stunned the world last September by addressing the Iraqi parliament.
He told Saddam Husseins cronies that George Bush was on the verge of making a historic mistake by going to war.
And in the same month he was a key speaker at an anti-war demo in London attended by Lefties Ken Livingstone and Tony Benn.
Gulf War veteran Ritter led UN teams hunting for Saddams arsenal from 1991 to 1998. But he now naively insists the tyrant has destroyed all his chemical and biological weapons.
Ritters first arrest for an alleged child sex offence came when he was caught waiting for a girl of 14 at a restaurant in Albany, New York state.
He had enticed her into a meeting during a conversation in a chat room.
He managed to dodge charges because officers thought the language he had used to her was too vague to secure a prosection.
But just two months later he was caught again this time waiting for a 16-year-old girl at a Burger King.
The girl was actually a cop who had posed as a youngster on the web to snare child sex predators.
This time Ritter, who has young twin daughters, was charged with child endangerment, a crime carrying a maximum 90-day jail sentence.
But amazingly he ESCAPED prosecution after reaching a deal with a junior official.
Assistant District Attorney Cynthia Preiser agreed no further action would be taken if he stayed out of trouble for six months and attended sex offender counselling.
But Preiser has now been fired for cutting the sensitive deal without the permission of her boss.
Furious District Attorney Paul Clyne: Im not happy. Given the nature of the offence, this was not an appropriate way to handle it.
Internet child safety expert Parry Aftab also declared: His case should never have been dismissed.
The problem is that people have trouble seeing white, middle-class, well-educated men as potential child abusers.
Ritter was once a fierce critic of Saddam. He quit as a weapons inspector because he said they were being too SOFT on the Iraqi regime.
He even insisted that Iraq should be subjected to a major campaign that seeks to destroy the regime.
But he quickly changed his views and is now Americas most outspoken critic of a possible war.
He insists any attempt to depose Iraq would be illegal and imperial.
And he has even accused Washington of using UN inspectors to spy on Iraq.
Ritters lawyer confirmed yesterday that he had been arrested in June. But Ritter himself refused to comment.
And in that day seven women shall take hold of one man, saying, "We will eat our own bread, and wear our own apparel: only let us be called by thy name," ...
Or did he miss it? Only reading and studying your bible will tell.
You know, I wonder if his kids use the Internet.
Sure, they just can't log onto any of Daddy's chatrooms.
Rocks break scissors. "Underage" breaks "It's all about sex."
You just pointed out the problem. Teen girls meeting 41 year old men. Money probably changed hands too. The average ho starts her CHOSEN carreer at 14 1/2 years old.
That being true, then Ritter is certainly delusional.
Only an ignorant, or delusional person would believe an offence such as this would never be brought out for public consumption.
If that be the case, then when faced with the loss of family and friends, he may not pull the plug.
Suffice it to say he will die a thousand deaths because of it.
What do you think?
I just think that what Clinton did to women was far worse....yet he gets a pass.
But, you see, clinton was CIC, ritter was a lowly capt.
Now the thing is, the CIC can get a way with a lot more than a captain and a captain can get away with a lot more than a Cpl. and a Cpl can get away withn more than a Pvt. and a pvt can get away with a lot more than a 2nd Lt. cause everybody looks down on second looies.
And that is why clinton got away with more than ritter.
But one day clinton will stand before He who makes no destinction between CIC's and second looies. And then my fellow freeper, he will get his due reward.
