A former chief UN weapons inspector in court for sending explicit on line messages to a '15-year-old girl' and then streaming a video of himself performing a sex act has been convicted.

Scott Ritter exchanged online messages with '15-year-old Emily' - in reality undercover policeman Ryan Venneman - before masturbating in front of a web cam after the undercover officer stressed he was a minor, prosecutors said.

The court heard 49-year-old Ritter's on line chat with 'Emily' in February 2009 was actually the third such encounter since he quit his job as chief U.N. weapons inspector in Iraq in 1998. He later became a vocal critic of the Bush administration's war in the country........
