You have the defendant named as “Judge Weiner” in the first sentence of your post. I don’t see any way that they’re the same person!

This was one of those scenarios where most of us from outside of Clarksdale, who knew little or nothing of Dr. Weiner before this matter, viewed the situation with great skepticism and as apparent excessive government action run wild. Many of us wondered why the feds would be wasting their time on something like this, when there are so many other more serious problems in the Clarksdale community re drugs, gangs, murder, etc. But, those in the Clarksdale community who posted here and claimed to know something of the “true facts” seemed to insist that this guy was a really bad person, and that this situation was just the tip of the iceberg. Well, that was quite some time ago. When I initially expressed my strong concerns about this apparent government witch hunt, there was always the thought in the back of my mind: “what if these locals are right, and he turns out to be a dangerous sexual predator, etc.?”. Thus, I suspect that many (like me) may have initially tempered their outrage and remarks for fear of getting egg on our faces later. And a good lesson can be learned here. Did it really matter whether Dr. Weiner was a good guy or bad guy, when the facts supporting the alleged “crimes” committed appeared so flimsy from the outset? No, it shouldn’t. This type of federal witch hunt should not be tolerated no matter the target.

Bravo to Judge Biggers for his opinion —this opinion should have a chilling effect on any such bullshit in the future.

Unfortunately, I doubt a single person involved in the attempted entrapment of Dr. Weiner feels any remorse.

… One moral of the story: Don’t e-mail anyone, especially a complete stranger, about which bodily orifices particularly intrigue you sexually. It might end up in an indictment one day. News you can use, folks.

Originally I was sad to see a fellow MD having placed himself in such a situation but we see this sometimes. The combo of the charges, the site name and the fall from grace of another professional just had some ring of truth to it. The comments here argued otherwise (incider knowledge from the foodies) but it certainly sounded like he did something stupid that could have screwed him. Dr Weiner’s thoughts such as “the talents you are promoting are ubiquitous” partially redeems his judgement.

For a review of his preferred site: http://wealthy-dating-websites.no1reviews.com/SugarDaddyForMe.html
another site has it higher but it sure looks and sounds cheesy. I am no social Luddite- one of my stepkids married an Italian that he met online (6 years, one kid, and strong marriage so far) and another found a more acceptable companion than her first husband on eharmony but SugarDaddyForMe just has a questionable connotation on its face. I hope his name can be cleaned up some and the local press reveals some of these details to his benefit.

I imagine that the principals that Judge Biggers refers to will just shrug their collective shoulders and be happy with Doc’s temporary loss of face and diluted ability to criticize.
The statements of Anon, candice and Anarchyx from an early post echo here. “This was payback, plain and simple.” “Why are people defending him anyway? He is a criminal. We shall see what transpires from all of this.” Follow up comments form Candice and anon will be accepted with their real names. Why not stand behind your name calling. Id love to see their association with the above noted

By the way one of my cute frail 87 year olds refers to me as ‘sugar baby’ should I be concerned?

DoJ’s inspector general needs to crack some heads in the USA’s shop, ND Miss. This is not a pursuit of justice … it’s cold, political, vindictive, oppression of an American citizen.

I am really glad Ginger was cleared. Mary, ehhhh. I was always a Ginger man, not so much Mary Ann.
