MARION COUNTY, Fla. -
Authorities say a 25-year-old north Florida man facing child porn and sexual battery charges told them he is a "monster" who should've never been born.
George Fout was at first arrested on child pornography charges, but detectives say he later admitted to molesting several children. He also told detectives he wouldn't stop unless he was in jail.
Fout told detectives he met one victim in the Cub Scouts. The sheriff's office says Fout told them he had been looking at child porn since he was a child.
