Convicted Pedophile Sues AmEx For $4 Million, Says Creditor Violated His Privacy



Meet James Colliton, a disbarred corporate lawyer who served 19 months in jail after bribing a mother so he could sleep with her 13 and 15 year-old daughters. Colliton recently sued American Express for $4 million, claiming that he was captured because the credit card company told authorities that the fugitive gutter-cretin was signing for hotel rooms in Ontario.

Colliton insisted he wasn't running from the law and had gone to Canada only to attend some harness races.

"You're not a fugitive if you sign into a major chain hotel using your driver's license and your American Express card," he said.

In his suit, filed in Manhattan Supreme Court, Colliton says Canadian authorities would never have "falsely arrested" or "unlawfully detained" him on immigration charges if American Express hadn't revealed when and where he had used his credit card.

"That's not why I gave them 20 years of fees and thousands of dollars in profits," he said. "They spied on me."

We're not lawyers, but we're pretty sure convicted felons lose their right to moral indignation or the right to vote or something.

Anyway, the moral of the story is that if you're an indicted pedaphile on the run, don't use American Express.

LOL.....priceless.

Just for that, I will keep my Amex card forever and charge everything on it! YOU GO, AMEX!!

Send him to Mexico! It seems we have most of their criminal population on our soil....so the least Mexico can do for us.... is take in our criminal muddled masses....smile

I LOVE IT LOL. I hope AM-EX sues him for filing a frivolous lawsuit.

AmEx has been wonderful to me. They caught someone using my AmEx number to run up an $866 bill charged to a phone sex line. They realized this was way out of my usual spending patterns. One more caution: don't hand a credit card to anyone in a restaurant who takes it way out of sight to run the card.
