Disbarred NY Lawyer/Sex Criminal Sues Amex for Ratting Him Out to Cops
New York Lawyer - July 22, 2008

NEW YORK (AP) - A disbarred Manhattan lawyer who pleaded guilty to statutory rape has sued the American Express Co. for giving police credit card information he says resulted in his capture. James Colliton, formerly an attroney at Cadwalader, Wickersham & Taft, was arrested in February 2006 near Toronto, where prosecutors say he fled after being indicted on charges of having sex with underage girls. The 44-year-old Colliton said Monday from his Poughkeepsie home that AmEx violated its agreement to withhold customer information from third parties. AmEx spokeswoman Joanna Lambert says the company's officials haven't seen the lawsuit and can't comment. Colliton pleaded guilty in October 2007 and was sentenced to three concurrent one-year terms. He was released a few days after sentencing because he had been in custody 19 months.
