Wisconsin: Racine Mayor Resigns

The mayor of Racine resigned in a one-sentence letter, days after being accused of trying to arrange a sexual encounter with someone he thought was an under-age girl. The letter from the mayor, Gary Becker, left, made no reference to the six felonies he faces. Mr. Becker’s lawyer, Patrick Cafferty, said he decided to resign because “it was in the best interest of everyone involved.” Mr. Cafferty said his client intended to plead not guilty to all charges at an arraignment on Feb. 10 in Racine County Circuit Court.

Mr. Becker, 51, was arrested Jan. 13 at a suburban Milwaukee mall after a two-week investigation by the Division of Criminal Investigation at the State Department of Justice. After chatting online with a state agent posing as a 14-year-old girl, Mr. Becker went to the mall to meet her and buy lingerie for her, according to a criminal complaint. During the chat, he offered to take her to a hotel to “have lots of fun,” the complaint said.

The investigation started last month after Mr. Becker asked city workers to help him fix a problem with his personal computer. The police said the computer technician found six pornographic images of what appeared to be under-age girls and alerted the authorities.

Becker, who is married and has two children, is charged with attempted second-degree sexual assault of a child under 16, possession of child pornography, child enticement, use of a computer to facilitate a child sex crime, attempt exposing a child to harmful material and misconduct in office. The charges carry a maximum penalty of more than 114 years in prison and $370,000 in fines.

Interestingly enough there is no mention of his political affiliation either. Took me a little bit of searching to actually find it.
No, It doesn't matter whether he is an R or a D, but the bias in reporting is becoming a trend. This is the second time in a week.
