Former US Weekly editor Timothy McDarrah was sentenced to six years in prison this week following his December conviction for attempting to have sex with a 13-year-old girl. Using the email address ps41alum@aol.com (now inactive, so don't bother sending hate mail), McDarrah responded to a Craigslist post planted by the FBI and offered $200 to have sex with a barely teen-aged girl.
The FBI says McDarrah asked "What it'll cost for the cutest white 14-year-old girl with a pony tail in the whole 8th grade?" Investigators say he later communicated with 13 year-old "Julie" wanting to provide her with "sex lessons." The 45 year-old writers was convicted back in December after an eight day trial.
In the email exchanges he was unwittingly having with FBI agents, McDarrah tried to impress the fictional 13-year-old by name dropping celebrities he'd interviewed, like Rene Zellwegger and Jennifer Lopez.




Dude. 13 is totally okay. Now, 12 and you are pushing the line.
Rico, you're just as bad as that creep.
I can't believe you've missed a chance to pimp Stuyvesant here. After all, Tim McDarrah taught one of the journalism electives at the school in the late 80s.
