Welcome to Delco

Welcome to Delaware County, Anthony Taylor.

We hope you like your accommodations … in Delaware County Prison.

Yes, it has happened again.

Mr. Taylor, who hails from Staten Island, N.Y., and is the married father of a 3-year-old son, is not just another tourist.

According to the Delaware County District Attorney’s office, he’s an Internet sex fiend.

Taylor is the latest to be stung by undercover officers of the Delaware County Internet Crimes Against Children Task Force.

The charges filed against him indicate that after meeting a woman online, Taylor suggested a rendezvous, according to the D.A.

Taylor hopped in his car and headed for Delco, enticed by the thought of a sexual liaison with a mother and her 14-month-old daughter. That’s not a typo. 14 months old.

Taylor was busted in the parking lot of a business in Middletown when he showed up for his meeting.

D.A. Mike Green called the case “as disturbing as it gets.”

Hard to argue with him.

It’s also hard to argue with this, something I’ve said before but will repeat again here. What don’t these guys get? When are they going to catch on that they do not really know who is on the other end of that chat line.

And, finally this disturbing thought. Is their willingness to roll the dice merely a signal of how many of these type of encounters are going on that are not part of a sting, that involve real moms, real kids, and real perverts.

Maybe we need to hire more undercover officers.
