"Stupid" Author Faces Computer Sex Charge By Associated Press http://www.newsday.com/news/nationworld/wire/sns-ap-author-sex1108nov08.story November 8, 2002, 8:46 AM EST Lantana, Fla. -- The author of two books on stupidity has been charged with trying to meet a teenager on line for the purpose of sex. Sixty-one-year-old James Welles has written books called "The Story of Stupidity" and "Understanding Stupidity." Both are about the dumb moves people make. Welles now faces a charge in Lantana, Florida, with using the computer to set up a date with a 15-year-old girl. But the "girl" was really a 40-year-old undercover detective. Investigators said the relationship began in an Internet chat room. They said it took about three weeks to get to the point Welles was willing to commit a crime.
