GOODMAN Associated Press TOOLS Email Get section feed Print Subscribe NOW Comments Recommend (1) DETROIT — An assistant U.S. attorney from Florida was arrested in an Internet sting operation after flying to Michigan to have sex with a 5-year-old girl, authorities said Monday. John D.R. Atchison, 53, was arrested Sunday at Detroit Metropolitan Airport after several weeks of Internet conversations between the prosecutor and a detective posing as the mother of a 5-year-old girl, authorities say. "There wasn't much reaction from him at all," Macomb County Sheriff Mark Hackel said. Atchison was cooperative with authorities, he added. Atchison was charged with using interstate communication to entice a minor to have sexual contact and traveling across state lines with the intent of engaging in illicit sexual contact. If convicted of both charges, he faces up to 40 years in prison. According to court records, Atchison initiated an online chat Aug. 29 with an undercover officer posing as a mother interested in letting men have sex with her daughter. At one point, Atchison said, "I'm always gentle and loving; not to worry; no damage ever; no rough stuff ever ever," according to an affidavit filed in court. Atchison, of Gulf Breeze, Fla., is a prosecutor for the U.S. Attorney's Office for northern Florida, based in Tallahassee. He requested a court-appointed lawyer at his hearing Monday.
If I were a police officer, that is definitely the type of job I would want. Get paid to surf chat rooms, then arrest people afterwards...
He isn't just a prosecutor, he's a federal prosecutor. Try landing one of those jobs. I guess if NASA could let Nowak become an Astronaut...
