(Moonie) Times employee arrested in sting (arranged meeting w/ 13 yr old)

[jefferson_dem]

Metropolitan Police today charged the director of human resources at The Washington Times with one count of attempting to entice a minor on the Internet.

Randall Casseday, 53, was arrested at 9:45 p.m. yesterday in the 1300 block of Brentwood Road NE, where police said he had arranged to meet who he thought was a 13-year-old girl. He had actually exchanged Internet messages and photographs with a male police officer posing as a girl.

"When he went there, he was met by police," police spokesman Sgt. Joe Gentile said.

As set out in an affidavit filed in U.S. District Court today, Mr. Casseday, whose home address was listed in the unit block of Manner House Drive in Dobbs Ferry, N.Y., initiated a conversation with the undercover officer in an online chat room.

The officer identified himself as a 13-year-old girl in the District, and Mr. Casseday identified himself as a 53-year-old man who usually lives in New York but was spending time in the District, the affidavit states.

The conversation included discussion of an explicit sexual nature.

1. ...Human resources, eh...

That's never sounded creepier.

2. good god, this is appalling....

That guy is my age, more or less. I actually tried to imagine myself in his position when I read this report, tried to imagine being sexually aroused by a 13 year old girl. No offense to young women, but I simply cannot imagine any scenario in which so young a girl would be attractive to a man my age. We're talking pre- or just barely pubescent-- a child.

I know this is likely less surprising to others, but I'm just perplexed by this. The whole betrayal of trust thing-- I don't know how that played out here, and he obviously never had a directly abusive relationship with this particular girl. I'm just trying to understand what went on in his head by trying to experience it myself. Was it just sexual arousal? Was it loneliness? Was it fear of middle age and growing older?

Damn, I don't know if I should even post this, it seems so naive. I just don't get it at all.

3. No my friend, you are normal.

Little girls, which 13 Yo children are, are supposed to arouse paternal instincts, not sexual feelings. Brother, the shame is that we have to fear smiling at a child due to perverts like this.

5. You just nailed one aspect of it all.

And it isn't just shame, either. It's fear, too. All it takes is one incredibly imaginative person to decide that your smile or gentle word to a child is something "more" and the next thing you know, your life is a flaming hell that just won't stop.

Sadly, there is no shortage of people with "that" type of imagination these days, either. Or so it seems.

8. Maybe that's the perverts' revenge upon normal people.

They'll go down, but they'll take normal, healthy adult-child interaction with them.

4. What is it with Rethugs and pedophilia?

They just can't seem to be able to keep their paws off of little kids!

6. damn...

I was hoping it would be Tony Blankley and a few of his peacocks!

7. Bush clan and Rev. Moon (aka "Christ" Jr.) are in bed together

Why does the Skull & Bones Bush Cabal LOVE the guy who claims to be the Second Coming of Christ (Rev. Moon)?

That is so totally queer. Bush and Moon and"Christ."
