In case you didn’t know, former UN weapons inspector and agent for Saddam Hussein’s propaganda to the West, Scott Ritter, convicted perv, is on trial in Pennsylvania this week for a 2009 arrest when he tried to solicit sex from a 15-year-old girl trapped in a middle-aged detective’s body. The Pocono Record<\/a> describes the second day of the trial;<\/p>\n

The ticking of a clock on the wall was the only sound to be heard in a Monroe County courtroom Tuesday as jurors watched a silent, 30-minute video of former United Nations weapons inspector Scott Ritter first wearing just a T-shirt, and then totally nude.<\/p>\n

Some of the seven female and five male jurors shifted uncomfortably in their seats, looked away or closed their eyes, as the webcam video image of Ritter masturbating appeared on screen.<\/p>\n

All of the jurors sighed in relief when it was finally over.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

Isn’t that kind of a perv’s dream come true? Twelve people forced to watch him polish his pickle?<\/p>\n

Then Ritter took the stand and told the jury he knew it was a middle-aged person pretending to be a 15-year-old girl. The Albany Times-Union<\/a> recounts;<\/p>\n

Scott Ritter, 49, of Delmar took the witness stand in his own defense and testified that he believed the person he met in a Yahoo chat room in February 2009 was an adult who was acting out her own sexual fantasy of being a minor involved with an older man.<\/p>\n

“It’s your fantasy of being 15. Not my fantasy,” he testified.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

If that’s his defense lawyer’s strategy, Ritter should get a refund.<\/p>\n

“At no time did I believe I was dealing with a 15-year-old,” [Ritter] said. “One adult is fantasizing about being an age they’re not.”<\/p>\n

Monroe County Assistant District Attorney Michael Rakaczewski was incredulous.<\/p>\n

“Are you serious?” he asked, bringing a swift objection from Ritter’s attorney.\n<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

See, that’s why I can’t be a juror. There’s no way I could not burst out laughing.<\/p>\n
