Scott Ritter caught in online sex sting

The Mail report that:
"The former top United Nations weapons inspector has been caught in a sex sting.

Scott Ritter, who served as chief weapons inspector in Iraq, told a 15-year-old girl he wanted to have sex with her and also filmed himself carrying out a sex act on a webcam.

But instead of talking to a teenage girl, he was in contact with an undercover police officer in an online chatroom seeking out child predators.

Ritter, 44, is facing up to ten years in jail and a lifetime on the sex offenders register after being charged with child endangerment."

More detail, quite unpleasant detail, can be found on The Smoking Gun who have the Police complaint sheet available to view.


Scott Ritter was the chief United Nations weapons inspector in Iraq from 1991 to 1998 and became famous for his criticism of United States foreign policy in the Middle East. I note that the BBC have just this tiny piece on Scott Ritter's arrest, somehow I think that if it was a prominent 'neo-con' the report would be longer and rather more prominent.
