From the NY Times:
Mayor Gary Becker of Racine was arrested Tuesday on tentative charges of attempted second-degree sexual assault of a child, child enticement and possession of child pornography, state officials said. Mr. Becker, left, was also accused of exposing a child to harmful materials, using a computer to facilitate a child sex crime and misconduct in public office, according to a news release by the State Department of Justice. Mr. Becker, 51, was freed Wednesday evening on a $165,000 cash bond. The Racine police received a tip two weeks ago about possible criminal activity involving Mr. Becker, Lt. James Dobbs said. Racine is Wisconsin’s fifth-largest city, with about 80,000 residents. It is on Lake Michigan, about 30 miles south of Milwaukee.Not at the Times .. hows bout MSNBC:
The man who has taken over for Racine Mayor Gary Becker after his arrest on probable charges of second-degree sexual assault of a child, child pornography and solicitation of a minor has called for Becker's resignation.Nope, not there either.
I wonder if the party affiliation (Its D in case anyone was wondering) would have been left out if he were a republican? At least none of the articles called it a "date gone wrong".
