A former Freemason Grand Master is facing jail after he was caught in a police sting trying a lure a child into sex.
Wright thought he was communicating with a 14-year-old boy and sent him pictures of his private parts over the internet. Through gay dating app Grindr he arranged to meet the “boy” at Bury St Edmunds railway station, Suffolk, last November.
However, when Wright arrived he was met by officers who took him to a local police station for questioning. A former Grand Master of the Grand Council of Royal and Select Masters, he was also Grand Master of the Provincial Grand Lodge of Mark Master Masons of Essex.
A spokesman for the United Grand Lodge of England said: “We were made aware of an allegation against a Freemason on December 1, 2016, who immediately resigned from the organisation.
“Having learned of the situation we have no further information currently, and fully believe that this is a one-off, isolated incident.
“We can confirm that we will fully assist the police and relevant authorities if we are approached or if we know of any way that we can voluntarily do so. No such request has been made.
“Criminal activity is completely unacceptable within the organisation and totally alien to our values.”

Oh wow, rofl! Best post today!
Tomorrow, and tomorrow, and tomorrow,
Creeps in this petty pace from day to day,
To the last syllable of recorded time;
And all our yesterdays have lighted fools
The way to dusty death. Out, out, brief candle!
Life's but a walking shadow, a poor player,
That struts and frets his hour upon the stage,
And then is heard no more. It is a tale
Told by an idiot, full of sound and fury,
Signifying nothing.

With these facts, why is this thread formatted as a Freemasonic witch-hunt?

I don't see any witch-hunt.
But, there is general "astonishment" when we find out that a Freemason has done something like this.
Because, publicly, Freemasons advertise that they only take in good men, of good repute, and then they again claim they make those good men even better.
We all know that people of all sorts exist in society, and that nobody is perfect, etc..But, we expect "better" from Freemasons than what is out there in the general population.
Freemasonry is an "exclusive club" that says it has methods to determine good men, and methods to elevate them higher.
Not anybody can become a Freemason.
At least, that's the impression we outsiders get of the craft.
