Federal Prosecutor Gets Stung

Updated

From WDIV in Detroit:

A U.S. Justice Department official has been arrested on suspicion of traveling to Detroit over the weekend to have sex with a minor.

John David R. Atchison, 53, an assistant U.S. attorney from the northern district of Florida, was arraigned in U.S. District Court in Detroit Monday afternoon.

An undercover officer posed as a mother offering her child to Atchison for sex, according to police.

[...]

In deposition, detectives said Atchison suggested the mother tell her daughter that "you found her a sweet boyfriend who will bring her presents."

The undercover detective expressed concern about physical injury to the 5-year-old girl as a result of the sexual activity. Detectives said Atchison responded, "I am always gentle and loving; not to worry, no damage ever, no rough stuff ever. I only like it soft and nice."

The undercover detective asked how Atchison can be certain of no injury. He responded, "Just gotta go slow and very easy. I've done it plenty," according to detectives.

First, there's no such thing as "having sex with a minor." It's rape, pure and simple. Second, if he's "done it plenty," the authorities in Florida had better get on the job and find out just what this guy, who "is president of the Gulf Breeze Sports Association, a youth athletics organization," has been doing for the last few years. And since he describes himself online as "a family man," my guess is that he's a strong supporter of "family values." And since he's an assistant U.S. attorney in the Justice Department, I'm guessing that he's a registered Republican who passed all the right tests in being politically correct in his views on the law, terrorism, and the majesty of George W. Bush in order to get and keep his job.

Yeah, yeah, I'm sure there are perverts in the Democratic party, too, and we'll find them. But it's a lot more pungent when it's someone in the Party of Family Values who flies all the way across the country to rape a five-year-old.

Update: According to this source, Mr. Atchison is a registered Republican.
