March 25, 2014. Over the weekend, Central Florida law enforcement conducted their 2nd "to catch a predator type sting. 29 people were arrest and their names are now posted all over the news.
THE STINGS INVOLVE LAW ENFORCEMENT POSTING ON ADULT WEBSITES LOOKING FOR SEX, USUALLY WITH NO INDICATION THAT A MINOR IS INVOLVED. ONCE THEY GET A RESPONSE, THEY TRY TO MAKE IT CLEAR THAT A MINOR WILL BE INVOLVED IN SOME WAY AND THEN TRY VERY HARD TO GET THE MARK TO COME TO THE DECOY HOUSE.
WHEN THE MARK ARRIVES, HE/SHE IS ARRESTED AND CHARGES WITH A VARYING DEGREE OF FELONIES AND FACES YEARS OF IMPRISONMENT AND A LIFE TIME OF REGISTRATION AS A SEX OFFENDER.
THEY PEOPLE ARE OFTEN GIVEN LITTLE SYMPATHY IN THE PUBLIC AREANA, WHERE MOST IDLE SPECTATORS ASSUME THE ACCUSED ARE PREDATORS SEEKING SEX WITH CHILDREN, BUT IN REALITY, THEY OFTEN HAVE NO INTEREST OR INTENTION OF SEX WITH CHILDREN BUT HAVE BEEN CONVINCED TO COME PARTICIPATE IN SEX WITH WHAT THEY BELIEVE IS A CONSENTING ADULT.
I DEFEND A LOT OF PEOPLE CHARGED WITH THESE CRIMES AND THE FINAL RESULT OFTEN DEPEND OF THE VERY SPECIFIC DETAILS OF THE CONVERSATIONS BETWEEN THE ACCUSED AND THE UNDERCOVER DECOY.
