Ritter Cancels Iraq Trip To Baby-Sit
January 22, 2003
Scott Ritter, who reportedly baby-sat the children of presidential candidates Tuesday night while they were at the abortion celebration dinner - Woody Allen was on standby - has cancelled a trip to Baghdad. He was going to go to Baghdad, folks, but has cancelled the trip in the midst of controversy over what the media terms a "minor sex charge."
It sounds like he's benefiting from the Kennedy-Clinton protection plan already. Ritter had planned to fly to Iraq to offer advice to the Iraqi government on ways to avoid a conflict with the U.S., but now says only, "I'm not going."
Ritter was arrested in June of 2001 but the news of the arrest was suppressed. He was accused of trying to lure a 16-year-old girl he met on the Internet to a Burger King restaurant. The girl was actually an undercover investigator posing online as a minor as part of an investigation into Internet sex crimes. Ritter was charged with attempted endangerment of a child, which is a Class B misdemeanor that carries a maximum sentence of 90 days in jail. The charges would eventually be dropped if Ritter stayed out of trouble, but now we learn that apparently, he's done it twice.
In April 2001, Ritter tried to meet a 14-year-old girl he chatted with online and instead was met by police officers. Ritter was released without being charged. He's escaped two of these things now, even though he was arrested both times. This guy's getting more chances than Saddam Hussein, who it looks like he won't be seeing any time soon.
