Children's editor sent to prison

BOSTON — A former editor for the company that publishes the children's newspaper Weekly Reader was sentenced Wednesday to six years in prison for soliciting sex from a minor.

Noel Neff, 47, of Norwalk, Conn., was arrested in 2005 in a shopping mall parking lot. Investigators said he had arranged to meet with a 14-year-old boy for sex; the boy was actually an FBI agent who had been exchanging instant messages with Neff for two months.

A federal jury in May convicted Neff of using Internet to induce a minor to engage in sexual activity, an offense that carries a mandatory minimum of five years in prison and a maximum of 30.

Weekly Reader Corp. is based in Stamford, Conn., and publishes several periodicals for students.

2. How sad
Edited on Wed Dec-13-06 06:27 PM by Juniperx
I loved Weekly Reader when I was a kid. This puts a negative note on what was once a fond memory.

We need to find out what causes this crap and how to stop it! All that money wasted on war(s) and our children aren't even safe in our own country.

5. So the real question remains...
When will someone finally expose the seedy, depraved underworld of BOY'S LIFE?
