What Could Go Wrong?

Vance Taylor, 29, of Daytona Beach, Fla., allegedly posted an ad online offering to “Impregnate your daughter, sister or wife.” He and a woman offering him her 13- and 14-year-old daughters chatted, and Taylor allegedly came up with a plan to protect himself from legal problems: he said he would claim he would marry one of the girls “so we are protected by religion if messages end up in the wrong hands.” Well, which girl would he want to spoil? “I’m not picky,” he allegedly responded. “I want to do it, just don’t want to be on TV.” The woman he was corresponding with was, of course, an undercover Daytona Beach police officer, and Taylor was arrested, charged with using a two-way communication device to commit a felony, using a computer to solicit a parent/guardian for consent, and traveling to meet after using a computer to lure a child. After his arrest, police say, he told them he had intended to kill the mother. (RC/WFTV Orlando) ...Because she’s obviously a terrible person?
