FACES LIFE IN FEDERAL PRISON …

|| By FITSNEWS || A 69-year-old Blythewood, S.C. man has been found guilty of using the internet in an attempt to lure a minor child into having sexual relations.

John Francis Williams was visiting his vacation home in Port Orange, Florida in October 2012 when he responded to a Craigslist advertisement.  It turns out the solicitation was actually placed by an undercover officer posing as the mother of a 14-year-old girl – a woman claiming to be “looking for a man to teach her child about sex.”

After communicating with the “mother” via email and telephone, Williams traveled to her location for the expressed purpose of having sex with the teenage girl.

“He brought an overnight bag containing condoms, lubricants, and vibrators,” a statement from U.S. Attorney A. Lee Bentley, III‘s office noted.

Williams was indicted in February of 2013 and faces sentencing this November.

“He faces a maximum penalty of life in federal prison,” Bentley’s office noted.

Wow … that’s a pretty hardcore potential sentence for a case in which there’s technically no victim.  And a case in which the intention to commit a crime constituted the extent of the malfeasance.

Look: It’s abundantly clear Williams is a low-life.  Hell, any individual – man or woman, gay or straight – who seeks to engage in sexual acts with minor children under the age of consent isn’t going to receive any sympathy from us.

But life in prison?  On an entrapment case?

Again, that’s pretty severe …

We don’t like police entrapment, although the counterpoint – namely taking a pedophile off the streets – is hard to argue with.  And again, you won’t see us driving down to Tampa to argue on behalf of Williams’ liberties.

Pedophiles are sick and disgusting people, unless their last name is Duggar.

Ask Dan Brennan of the Concerned Veteran for America. He just vacationed in a country where the legal age of homosexual relations is 14!!!

Dan spent a lot of money to fly to another country where the age of consent is 14. Pete Hegseth should stop this behavior by employees of the Concerned Veterans of America. Traveling to where a 14 year old boy is available for $20 is disgusting.

It’s the Libertarian in ’em.
Remember when Rand Paul, talking about vaccinations, said parents ‘own’ their children? It’s not much of a stretch to consider all children up for dibs for whatever…all in the name of ‘freedom’ and ‘liberty’.

100% of blacks vote Democrat. 75% of black households don’t have a father in the home.

To bad these fathers don’t ‘own’ THEIR children.

You are a joke.

It is not a crime to be a pedophile. It is a crime to rape a child, however. Being a pedophile means having sexual desire for children. Pedophilia rape would be the more precise term for what sexual preditors who are pedophiles do. Yes, this is a form of entrapment. But it’s extremely difficult, as a father and a grandfather, to feel sympathy for that old creep. No, strike that. It’s impossible.

Well absolutely it is-a crime. Personally, I think prison is too good for them! This kind of crime ruins a child’s life forever. They really should never get out because they cannot be rehabilitated.

You appear to be an expert on Pedophilia. Thank you for sharing your defense of pedophiles. I am sure they appreciate it.

I hope you’re reading the series at the Island Packet about a child molester who has had HALF of his sentence shaved off for good behavior and is about to be released.
That’s the way our legislators write the laws. They don’t appear to understand what constitutes ‘violence’ any better than the nation’s judges.

Idiot. There is not a “defense” in any word that I wrote. It is simply common sense. The desire to have sex with a child is something that cannot be detected in any way, unless you believe in telepathy. The ACT of molesting/raping a child is something else. And I stated that I have no sympathy. There is a certain level of “insanity” that cannot be an excuse. Legally speaking. THUS, I don’t have a problem with this form of “entrapment.” The INTENT to have sex with a child, openly displayed, should get someone put away.

You never could, the 24 hour news cycles and muck rakers like Will just make this stuff far more public than it used to be. I would agree that there is probably more of this going on today but priests have been diddling little boys forever, senior Army officers have been scrogging their subordinates and teachers have been canoodling male students forever.
