(Nicole:) I'm not so sure this is a laughing matter:

Scott Ritter, the former top U.N. weapons inspector in Iraq, was arrested in November, months after police said he sent sexual messages to a police officer posing as a 15-year-old girl named Emily, the Barrett Township, Pennsylvania, Police Department said in a news release Thursday.[..]

According to an affidavit of probable cause, "delmar4fun" contacted Barrett Township Detective Ryan Venneman -- who was posing as "Emily," from Poconos, Pennsylvania -- in an online chat room on February 7, 2009, saying he was a 44-year-old man from Albany, New York.

Ritter, 48, lives in Delmar, New York, according to police. Delmar is in Albany County.

"Delmar4fun," whom police identified as Ritter, sent "Emily" a link to his Web camera and then masturbated on camera and said he was fantasizing about having sex with her, the affidavit said.

"Emily" told "delmar4fun" what her age was twice, the affidavit said. The second time, "delmar4fun," turned the camera off and said he didn't realize he was speaking to a 15-year-old and didn't want to get into trouble, the affidavit said.

However, Ritter allegedly later resent the camera link, and masturbated and ejaculated on camera, the affidavit said.

Venneman called a phone number that "delmar4fun" had given, and told him that "Emily" was a police officer. "Delmar4fun" identified himself to Venneman, the affidavit said.

You may recall, this is not Ritter's first run in with the law over inappropriate sexual propositioning of minors over the internet. He was arrested twice in the spring of 2001 in sex stings. At that time, Ritter claimed he was getting railroaded because of his vocal opposition to the invasion of Iraq. However, it's a little hard to use that excuse now, especially considering we have his proclivities on video.
