Sicko Schoolteach Snared!

In a case that sounds a little like my version of The Aristocrats (sans Grandma and poodle, mind you), a middle-aged middle-school teacher was arrested for soliciting a minor. But that's not the hilarious sad part. According to the Daily News, he was

...arrested while cradling his baby son after he showed up for what he believed would be a sex romp with a 13-year-old girl, cops said yesterday.

[Emphasis mine.]

The mind boggles. Why'd he bring the child along? Was the 13-year-old going to babysit for him after their tryst?

It never ceases to amaze me that we live in a country full of homely, balding 40-something guys who think there's a veritable treasure trove of Lolitas out there on the intarweb, just waiting to meet them. Furthermore, half of them seem to be schoolteachers. (The other half, of course, are cops and/or firemen.) They interact with children all day long! Talk about an embarassment of riches that's just going to waste.
