A registered sex offender running for mayor of Wilmer says he hopes voters can overlook his 2004 arrest in which he was caught in a police sting trying to arrange sex with a 15-year-old girl on the Internet.

Brian Sliter, who is seeking office in Wilmer, said he accepts responsibility for his arrest and has received counseling that has helped ``turn my life around.''

The incident occurred in 2004, when Sliter went to a home where police, and not a teenager, waited for him. Sliter was charged with attempting to commit sexual assault of a child and placed on 10 years probation, according to state records.

The election in Wilmer is May 10.

If he gets elected why should anyone in public office caught doing that have to resign?

There are enough perverts in office, we don't need another.

Public office is one of the few places where no one seems to care how big a scumbag you are, as long as you don't let it be a surprize after you're elected.
