Still another article that makes me say,
What's wrong with our society??

I found this in todays Newspaper, and it just never seems to keep we from asking, what is wrong with these people. How can there be so many sick men out there wanting to have sex with small girls? And how many parents might be advertising for these men to have sex with their small children? Something is wrong with the parents to. How the one person who is suppose to protect them could do something like that is beyond me.

New Sex Sting Charge for U.S. Prosecutor
By DAVID N. GOODMAN
Associated Press Writer

DETROIT — A federal prosecutor who authorities say came to Michigan expecting to have a sexual encounter with a 5-year-old girl has been indicted on an additional charge and ordered held without bail.

John D.R. Atchison, 53, of Gulf Breeze, Fla., an assistant U.S. attorney based in Pensacola, Fla., was arrested Sunday at Detroit Metropolitan Airport when he arrived for a meeting with a woman he thought was going to let him have sex with her young daughter, authorities said. The woman actually was a Macomb County sheriff's detective and part of an Internet sex sting operation.

He initially faced charges of use of the Internet to seek illicit sex, which carries a mandatory minimum of 10 years in prison and a maximum of 30 years, and interstate travel to engage in illicit sexual contact, which carries up to 30 years.

On Tuesday, a federal grand jury added a charge of crossing state lines with intent to have sex with someone under 12, which carries a minimum 30-year prison sentence and a maximum of life.

Defense lawyer James Thomas declined to comment after a hearing Tuesday before U.S. Magistrate Virginia M. Morgan, who denied bail.

Atchison's boss, U.S. Attorney Gregory R. Miller, said in a statement Tuesday that his staff was cooperating with the FBI, federal prosecutors and Michigan investigators. The status of Atchison's employment was unclear.

Atchison is president of the Gulf Breeze Sports Association, which runs youth baseball, softball, cheer leading, soccer, football and basketball programs. The group said Tuesday it was placing him on leave until the charges were resolved.

According to an FBI affidavit, Atchison exchanged instant messages with Macomb County sheriff's Detective Linda Findlay, who is part of the 6-year-old Macomb Area Computer Enforcement Team.

"Findlay created an online undercover persona ... of a mother with minor children who is interested in allowing men to have sex with her children," FBI Agent Matthew A. Bowman wrote.

When he arrived Sunday, he was carrying presents for the girl, including a doll and earrings, and also had sexual materials, Sheriff Mark Hackel said.

That is so sick, sick, sick. And it's obvious that there are some mothers that are allowing that to happen, otherwise they wouldn't have come up with that scam. yuck.

this goes beyond sick.......well he won't last long if he goes to prison. He will likely either be killed or kill himself.

Melinda, did you notice, he's suppose to be a federal prosecutor, now how dumb can you be?

It is such a sick and twisted world at times, one can only hope these kind of people are locked away for ever and a day.
Folk say that the internet encourages this kind of stuff, but I think it also leads to more and more arrests. The more the better.

Patty: This is such a sad post but one none the less that needed to be shown. Thank you.

Such a man ought to be castrated right away and the mother who wants to let men have sex with her children ought to get life like the man.They are beyond psychological help and treatment.
