An FBI sex sting has snared a lieutenant colonel in the Air Force, who is now accused of trying to meet a 14-year-old girl at a hotel after the two talked online.
The Atlanta Journal-Constitution reports 47-year-old Air Force Lt. Col. Willie Newson was arrested Tuesday at a Marietta hotel on charges of child exploitation. Authorities say Newson was trying to meet up with a teen he met on a dating app. But the teen was really an undercover officer.
Georgia Department of Defense spokeswoman Desiree Bamba says Newson is on the command staff of the state Air National Guard.
Bamba says Newson was placed on leave pending the investigation's outcome. It's unclear if Newson has a lawyer.

You want to read about something really bonkers that a high-ranking officer has done, learn about Russell Williams.
He was a colonel in the Canadian military and the commander of a huge Air Force base. He flew dignitaries around: prime ministers, the Queen of England, etc. And he had a hidden second life where he was sneaking around the neighborhood, breaking into dozens of houses to steal women's panties, doing a couple of sexual assaults in the process, and ultimately murdering one of female subordinates. Eventually he was caught and thrown in prison, probably forever.
His interrogation video is one of the more fascinating true crime things I have watched. The interrogator was an absolute genius in wearing him down into confessing.
Edited to add: some bonus photos for late arrivers!

Its almost 2019 and some people still haven't figured out that on the internet the men are men, the women are men, and the children are police.
