Scott Ritter Caught in Child Sex Sting-Again

A former U.N. weapons inspector in Iraq is facing child-sex charges. Scott Ritter of Delmar, N.Y., is charged in Pennsylvania with unlawful sexual contact with a minor for alleged online exchanges with police posing as a 15-year-old girl. The Pocono Record first reported the case Thursday.

Monroe County authorities say they traced the exchange through a cell phone number he provided. Police say Ritter gave them a video of him masturbating during an Internet chat.

The 48-year-old Ritter has been free on bail since waiving a Dec. 17 preliminary hearing. He has acknowledged facing similar 2001 charges in New York that were dismissed. His lawyer did not return a phone message.

Ritter resigned in 1998 after seven years as a UN weapons inspector and was a harsh critic of the war in Iraq.

#2 Couldn't have happened to a nicer, more deserving fellow. Getting caught and going to jail that is.

#4 This has been a long-standing issue for Mr. Ritter, as I recall. Saddam Hussein blackmailed him for it to get positive reports, I believe. What a disgusting little man.

#5 Many honorable men and women worked at UNSCOM back in the 1990's. Among them Charlie Dolfer, the late Dr. Dave Kelly, Dr. Dick Sperzel, the late Dr. Annick Henriou, and many others. Scotty was never to number among them. He should have gone to jail years ago for the publication of the book "End Game" which may well have cost the lives of some intelligence community professionals.

#8 How interesting that he met a Russian national while working as a counterintelligence officer in the old Soviet Union. How interesting that through his marriage to her, he is a stepfather to twin 16 year old girls.

Yeah, I know....none of that is important....silly me. Have fun in the pokey, Short Eyes.

#10 "Once is an incident, twice is coincidence, three times is enemy action, Mr. ~~Bond~~ Ritter"

Scotty needs to taste the boot and find himself a new nickname: "bring out the Gimp"

#11 Scot Ritter came home from a long day of interviews and speaking at anti-war rallies and found his wife crying on their bed.

"What's wrong, honey?" he asked.

"I found out the truth about you!" she shouted through her tears, "You're a pedophile!"

Scott walks up to her, hugs her, and says "Honey, I"m so proud of you. 'Pedophile' is such a big word for a 10 year old."

(It's way past time to hang the bastard from the nearest lamppost)
