A man who tried to hire a prostitute to take his 14-year-old son’s virginity as a present was was handed a 10-month prison sentence, suspended for a year, after he admitted a charge of trying to solicit a woman to have sex with a child. The father drove the boy out and allowed him to pick out the prostitute in the red-light district. But the 42-year-old father was arrested because the teenager had chosen an undercover police officer.

According to Reuters:

Judge Jonathan Teare said he would spare the father jail because of his excellent character and that he believed he did not mean any harm to his son.

This is incredibly sad and totally awesome at the same time. The dad needs to get the father of the year award, while the son needs to get a slap in the back of the head for picking an undercover cop.
