Give me a break. You can badger me all you want on an online chat, call me a chicken, or anything else, but you are never going to get me to sneak off and visit a 13 year old home alone. This doctor’s career is ruined regardless of how the trial ends. I think the defense will fall of deaf ears when the jury sees the guy’s on-line chats and just uses common sense.

This doctor drove over 40 miles, giving him time to rethink the consequences of his actions. There is no way you can sugar coat someone who solicits sex from a minor. Also, whose to say this was his first time having online sex chat with minors. In many cases, child predators have done it before and this doctor even knows which websites to visit. It sickens me that he has the nerve to sue and act victimized! The real victims are the children and I hope that parents educate their children about online predators. I hope that Dateline, the media, and our city officials use resources to educate the public.
