Police: Hope Mills veteran used Craigslist to set up sex with autistic child:

Retired Hope Mills Veteran Arrested for Arranging Sex with Autistic Child:

I’m going to cut to the chase. William Jerry Faulkner Jr. of Hope Mills, North Carolina is a grade-A scumbag. According to police in Cumberland County Faulkner placed an ad on craigslist looking for a special needs child to have sex with, or to rape to put it more bluntly. According to the articles linked the ad said something to the effect that Faulkner wanted a single mother to take a special needs child to him for compensation. Last time I checked craigslist didn’t have a ‘men seeking handicapped children’ section. Oh wait, they do, it’s the un-moderated casual encounters section.

Cumberland County Sheriff’s Detectives received a tip, not from craigslist, about the ad and posed as a woman with an autistic child who was willing to take Faulkner’s deal. They set up the meeting and arrested Faulkner who is being held on $75K bond.

It also turns out that Faulkner’s own wife and child are both handicapped which leads me to wonder if he’s inflicted any abuse on them? It also makes me think that I doubt that this was his first time out either. You may think that there couldn’t possibly be any mother out there that would sell their kids for sex but unfortunately there are too many.

Those who prey on the most defenseless of our society deserve the worst punishments possible.

Thanks to Claudia for the tip.
