SANDUSKY, Mich. (AP) - A northwest Florida prosecutor who
authorities say flew to Michigan for an expected sexual encounter
with a 5-year-old girl has tried to hang himself in his jail cell.
John "Roy" Atchison was being held on federal child sex
solicitation charges at the Sanilac County Jail, 75 miles north of
Detroit.
A cell mate shouted when he saw Atchison trying to hang himself
with a sheet. Guards stopped him.
Atchison is an assistant U.S. attorney in Pensacola, Florida.
Authorities say he went to Michigan to meet what he thought was
the mother of a 5-year-old girl with whom he arranged to have sex.
The woman was a detective working in an Internet sex sting
operation.

I hope justice prevails in this case. So many of these types of cases get swept under the rug. These people are too sick for help. Anyone who gets aroused by a child needs to be put away permanently because you can’t rehabilitate these monsters. He deserves to sit the rest of his life in prison, never to get out. Thank God this was a sting!! Whether these monsters talk about it or act on it, they are GUILTY!! We need to protect our young children and start putting these sick people away and never let them out!! They deserve a life sentence just like the life sentence they have given their victims. I hope he gets the maximum sentence here on earch because he will get his final sentence when he has to face the good Lord and be held accountable.

For the life of me I can not understand these people.
To want sex from one so young (and be willing to cross the street much less half a continent to do so) is simply beyond my understanding.
To read this person (and I use the term loosely) tried to hang himself with a bed sheet only confirms my opinion he fully understands his actions and doesn’t want to be confronted with a trial.
Where are society’s morals? Do we have any left? Why are we so afraid to use good judgment? Do we know what good judgment is?
How can we continue to let the few who disagree with the many create havoc while we sit idly by watching to see what happens next?
In my humble opinion there has to be a change. If we don’t come to our senses and turn back to the things we know are right we’re in for a fall into a hole we may not climb out of.
