Sandusky County Prosecutor Tom Stierwalt is not pursuing charges against State Highway Patrol Officer Ricky Vitte Jr., who recently admitted to masturbating with a boy.

According to police, Vitte admitted to watching porn and masturbating with a boy five years ago. He told his wife, who was later interviewed by police. Vitte said he was teaching the boy about sex. Stierwalt has said that Vitte could use that educational angle as a possible defense, which is at least one reason why he is not pressing charges.

The Sandusky Register published an article that elaborates on Vitte’s history of domestic violence – with interviews conducted by police with family members and others.

“I can’t imagine a situation where that would be appropriate in our culture,” clinical counselor Marlene Boas told the paper.

  1. WTF. Seriously? What’s next, kill someone in front of a kid, and say you did it just to teach them about death?

  2. Call (419)-865-5544 and ask how and why they keep an ADMITTED pedophile on their staff, putting more children in danger. That’s how I roll.

  3. DST — I called the number you provided to the Toledo post he works at, and everyone was very vague. No one would even tell me if he was still employed there. I was referred to their Columbus office that handles such inquires. Then I tried another number in Columbus, and still no one will tell me if he is still employed w the State Patrol. I hope he never pulls me over when I am driving with my two little boys.

  4. The Sandusky County prosecutor’s lame excuse is that the guy MIGHT present a defense to the accusation? That makes NO sense. All criminals mount some sort of defense. That a criminal MIGHT mount a defense is certainly no logical reason for the prosecutor not to charge him with a crime.

  5. Sounds like the Sandusky County Prosecutor might be a closet pedophile himself. As usually pedophiles protect their own. And how is he still a state trooper?!?! Maybe the feds need to step in and investigate whether there is a pedophile ring running in this state with prosecutors and state patrol heads involved. Sickening!

  6. Tom Stierwalt has a history of “FALSELY Prosecuting individuals” & Doesn’t allow them PROPER DEFENSE. I think he & Judge Dewey have “something between them” as I know RIGHT NOW a man SITS IN JAIL FOR SOMETHING HE DID NOT DO! His 4th Amendment Rights were violated by unlawful Search & Seizure; Stierwalt KNOWS the DETECTIVE he’s working with DID NOT GET any EVIDENCE from the one in JAIL…who Stierwalt is trying to send to RISON FOR 5-10 tears!! He’s NOT TOO WORRIED ABOUT this guy having a Defense & in fact TOLD the Defense Attorney “THERE IS A WAY YOU CAN GET THIS DISMISSED BUT I’M NOT TELLING YOU HOW!” Check out the NUMEROUS articles of Stierwalts errors,HIS refusal to respond or ACT ON critical issues; his failure to KEEP CORRUPT Poluce, Detectives, Sheruffs IN PLACE R PROSECUTE…WHY are they EXEMPT from Prosecution or being sent to JAIL?
