81-year-old man charged in Internet sex sting

» 9 Comments | Post a Comment

Louisa County authorities today charged an 81-year-old Mechanicsville man with three counts of using the Internet to solicit sex from an underage child.

Authorities accuse Irvin Blair Baldwin of arranging a meeting with a Louisa investigator who was posing as a 13-year-old girl, said county police Lt. Howard Porter.

Authorities captured Baldwin at the arranged place in Louisa about 12:30 p.m. today, and after he was taken into custody, he blurted out that he is a minister, Porter said. Authorities, however, have not verified that claim.

The authorities said Baldwin had several online conversations with the undercover detective during a month-long investigation.

Baldwin is being held without bond at the Central Virginia Regional Jail in Orange, with a court hearing set for Thursday. -- Reed Williams

I guess in his mind being a minister somehow makes it ok???

Even an 81 year old can molest a child, but due to his age he’ll more than likely serve no time and will soon be out there free to prey on innocent children.

Have any of you wise-cracking geniuses considered the possibility that this guy might just be a WWII war hero?  In which case the authorities will just have to drop the charges, won’t they?
