CINCINNATI, April 11 (Reuters) - An Internet sting operation netted one of
Cincinnati's best known radio personalities when he drove 40 miles to Xenia,
Ohio, to have sex with a fictitious 14-year-old girl he met in a cyber chat
room, Xenia authorities said Tuesday.
The ``girl'' turned out to be a police detective, who apprehended country-music
disc jockey Jim Fox at a Xenia local park where he was to meet her last
Saturday night.
Fox, whose morning radio show has been near the top in local ratings for
several years, was fined $250, given a 30-day suspended jail sentence and
placed on probation for five years when he appeared in Greene County Municipal
Court in Xenia Monday.
He also was ordered to undergo a psychiatric evaluation.
Officials of radio station WUBE-FM in Cincinnati said Fox has been given
administrative leave while they conduct ``a fact-finding mission'' into his
case.
According to Xenia Police Lt. Dan Donahue, Fox used an Internet chat room to
set up a sexual tryst. They said they found a box of condoms, beer and a quilts
in Fox's Ford Explorer when they arrested him.
Fox, whose real name is Allen Pruett, pleaded no-contest to a fourth-degree
misdemeanor of soliciting a minor.

Sorry for the duplication... I posted this on off-topic, since "country music" was coincidental to the real topic here.
Fox was subsequently fired by WUBE.
An excellent DJ who probably just ruined his own career.
I'm sorry for him, but glad no teenager was victimized. |
