Christ, they are just coming out of the woodwork

[CatWoman]

A Newnan mother was already seething when an Atlanta doctor was arrested for allegedly trying to seduce her teenage son. Then she learned the physician told authorities he was HIV-positive.

"He didn't have a heart," the mother said of Dr. Adam Lebowitz, 47, an Emory University School of Medicine resident who was arrested outside her family's home Thursday with items police say indicated he planned to have sex with the 15-year-old. "It's very sad and thank God he didn't do this to my child. My son was not molested. He helped catch the creep. We're one of the lucky ones," said the mother, whose name has been withheld to protect the identity of the teen.

Lebowitz, who is also an emergency room doctor at Grady Memorial Hospital, was surfing the Internet on Oct. 25 when he found the teen's page on Myspace.com, a popular social networking Web site, said Coweta County Sheriff's detective Sgt. Beth Suber.

Police say Lebowitz began instant messaging the teen about topics such as hobbies and sports.

Lebowitz talked about daily life as a doctor and bragged about saving lives, Suber said. He also sent the boy a photograph of himself wearing his hospital scrubs with his genitals exposed, the detective said.

"It escalated into a sexual nature, and the 15-year-old got scared," said Coweta sheriff's Capt. Tony Grant.

The teen told his mother, who said she called the phone number Lebowitz had given her son and told the man who answered to leave the teen alone. She then called sheriff's officials.

Within six days of the first contact, Lebowitz was ready for sex, sheriff's officials say.

After getting off work at Grady, Lebowitz drove to Newnan, having been told the teen's parents were gone, authorities say.

Inside his black SUV, he had sleeping bags, condoms, lubricant and other items, Grant said. "What scares me is, he had it so planned out, I would not think this was his first time," Grant said. "I'm almost certain that there's going to be more victims out there that have had contact with Dr. Lebowitz."

After sheriff's officials parked in the teen's driveway to block the doctor's escape. Lebowitz resisted arrest, they said. He refused to get out of the SUV, clinging to the steering wheel and popping a detective in the eye with his elbow as police pried his arms from the steering wheel. Police then wrestled the doctor to the ground to handcuff him, authorities said.

2. So what office was the good doctor running for? n/t

[CatWoman]

5. I didn't know one had to be running for office

in order to be enraged that the person in question is a scumbag of the highest order.

Excuse me!!

What the fuck was "I" thinking?

[Freedom_from_Chains]

15. No you don't it just seems that all of them are running for some

type of office these days.

[madmusic]

23. Doctor's office, I think.

3. Damn...

If I live another 100 years, I doubt I'd ever understand why someone would do something like this? Given how much he had to lose, it just boggles the mind...

Good thing the police got to him, before that (justifiably) pissed mom...!

[TahitiNut]

4. He "resisted arrest"? In Georgia?

(Hmmm) When have I heard that before?

Not that I'd ever doubt the report of law enforcement following in the finest tradition of Lester Maddox, but ... :eyes:

[CatWoman]

7. you can be sure of one thing

the "good" doctor sure wasn't African American.

The police would have wasted him without a thought.

There is a lot of anger here over the killing of young black men by the police.

[readmoreoften]

11. "I" don't know what you're talking about. That's why "I" am asking?

[AspenRose]

16. *sigh* PEDOPHILES

PEDOPLHILES are crawling out of the woodwork....regardless of political affiliation....

Dateline's practically synonomous with "To Catch A Predator," it's (unfortunately) so popular.....

That bit about the scrubs and the privates showing is positively creepy. :scared:

[readmoreoften]

20. Pedophiles have always been crawling out of the woodwork.

I don't much see the point of devoting a thread to one. I'm just bored with all the gory sex threads, I suppose.

18. This is playing big here in Atlanta - top story on the evening news

Emory is a hospital in Atlanta. Apparently the guy sent a kid a photo of exposing himself from the hospital. Not a direct repug angle but more about people in position taking advantage of their status to do harm to others. On second thought - that does sound like a repug. The guy looks real creepy too - with his evil grin.

[CatWoman]

19. I work at the CDC

and we employ a lot of doctors from Emory.

You can bet your bottom dollar he's a repug.

[NoAmericanTaliban]

21. Don't get bit by any monkeys - & happy b-day to you!

[CatWoman]

22. thank you!
