Weekly Reader

From Editor and Publisher:

NEW YORK Details have emerged since E&P first reported yesterday that an editor at Weekly Reader, the newspaper for school kids, was arrested by federal authorities after he allegedly tried to solicit sex from someone he thought was a teenage boy.

It turns out that the 14-year-old named “Chris” who he met in a Web chat room was actually an undercover FBI agent named David George.

Noel Neff, 46, of Norwalk, CT, a former sportswriter for Florida papers, was arrested Saturday outside a mall in Franklin, Mass., where authorities say he had hoped to meet "Chris."He now faces federal charges of using an interstate facility (the Internet) to entice a minor to engage in sexual activity.

Oops (and I'll bet $5 he's a card carrying Republican).
