It's true. We love sex scandals here at Scanner. But we prefer them to be amongst consenting adults. It's far more fun for everyone involved that way. When a sex scandal has to do with kids (even if they're "cooperating witnesses"), it takes all the fun out of it, and leaves us feeling a little dirty, kind of how we feel after watching "To Catch a Predator." But we're going to share it with you anyway, because misery loves company, and if we have to feel dirty, you do, too.
From the Smoking Gun:
A U.S. Senate aide was arrested Friday after allegedly arranging a lunchtime sexual encounter with a teenage boy, according to federal court records. James McHaney, 28, was nabbed by FBI agents after he arranged the afternoon liaison via a "cooperating witness" working with investigators. According to the below felony complaint and an accompanying statement of facts filed in U.S. District Court in Washington, D.C., the CW and McHaney were conversing online Friday afternoon when the CW asked whether McHaney was interested in engaging in anal sex with a 13-year-old boy. "I'll be there," McHaney allegedly replied. He later asked for a photo of the child with whom he and the CW would have sex and whether the boy had "any pubes." When told no, McHaney allegedly replied, "That's hot."
