Maryland Man Pleads Guilty to Posting Ads on Craigslist to Entice a Minor to Have Sex:

I originally posted about 54-year-old Richard E. Woodward of Brunswick, Maryland here. He was the guy who posted on craigslist that all he wanted for Christmas was a hot young boy.

The hot young boy that responded was law enforcement. When police searched Woodward’s car they found boys briefs, a pornography video, condoms, and lubricant, and child pornography. He also promised the ‘boy’ that he would teach him how to perform sex acts at a park.

For all his creepiness and being a stereotypical pedophile, Woodward was only sentenced to 10 years after pleading guilty. he’s also getting a lifetime on the infamous registry that doesn’t really stop offenders from re-offending.

Again it was probably the casual encounters section that Woodward posted his ad on. And again the much-vaunted community policing did nothing to stop this ad.
