Sheriff: More Than A Dozen ‘Disgusting’ Men Arrested In Sex Sting

I don't mean any disrespect Shadow but, I don't have a problem with Dateline. They are performing a public service and they ought to get a damn award for helping police. I really don't care how they catch the sleezy, nasty bastards like fucking grandpa who has waited all his life to screw a 14 YO and her mother. When you were 14 did ya want a nasty 67 YO on top of you?? I am still wretching over the thought of these MFers!

I have no problem with the police running these stings, and I hope they throw the book at these guys. My beef with Dateline (which as far as I know wasn't involved with this case, so this is a bit off topic) is that I believe it's unethical for journalists to “make” the news. It would be like a reporter driving around setting fires so he can write stories about them. The police can sting these fuckers just fine without any help from Dateline, so it's basically just a publicity stunt for the news program. And I also worry that some shyster defense attorney might use the involvement of Dateline to somehow get his client off. These bastards need to be incarcerated – preferably in general population – and I don't want publicity-seeking news programs to do anything to compromise that.

As far as this being “entrapment” on the part of the police goes: if you told me you were going to show me a 13 year old girl doing nude gymnastics, I would punch your teeth down your throat. Anyway who comes running at that kind of invitation has criminal intentions and needs to be locked up.

Not me. Whatever it takes to get these fucks out of society. And I volunteer to help in any way I can!

So glad the wives of the men weren't trying to support these sick dudes. That is awesome!

Dateline is doing a service, they are putting it out there just how sick some of the bastards are. They showed one guy come to have sex with a 12-13y/o and he brought his baby son (like under 3y/o) They are not “ambulance” chasing as you may think. If those pervs weren't taking innocence away from children they wouldn't have to be there.
I look at dateline as a way to maybe force parents to start watching thier kids and stop sitting on the sofa watching TV all day.
my example, thre is a pedofile that lived in my apt complex. the mom swore she knew what her kids were always doing and she was watching them. well her kids were going into the perverts apt. She had no idea.. When another kid got molested the mother was like my kids were in no harm, they never went near him.. when I showed her photos of her kids going into his apt. she was floored.. told her to get her fat ass off the sofa and watch her kids,.

Not only that Barbara, but cops have been setting up prostitutes and the men who buy them for decades. And nobody is driving [literally] these men to their final destination but themselves.

Hear, hear.

Doesn't anyone here see an issue with the police spending there time creating criminals? I mean are there no actual crimes (that have already been committed) to investigate in Orlando? OH wait, those don't net complacent non-violent offenders that private prisons like to put to work for $.18-$1.00 an hour with no safety regulations. These men were clearly willing to break the law but would they have if the opportunity never presented itself? Doesn't it give anyone else the heeby-jeebies that the police are making money off of these arrests? That the cops are in bed with private-prison contractors? You think maybe these public employees might have better spend their time responding to emergency calls? (the length of response time in Orlando is so bad that deaths have been attributed to it) or enforcing DV stay-way orders (that get violated & the stories wind up here)? Or even lurking around Disney World looking for actual pedos out stalking actual children? Or what about taking some of the cash they used to net these a-holes & investing in child abuse prevention? Or comprehensive mental health treatment? Really you all *applaud* this? It's sickening.

I'd be willing to wager that many of these perpetrators are carrying rape kits in their vehicles.

No. I think in this circumstance intent was present when they scoured craigslist for this type of activity. Also, not only did they participate in seeking out *gag* underage children but they intended to follow through with it.

“Doesn't it give anyone else the heeby-jeebies that the police are making money off of these arrests?”

You know what gives me the heebie jeebies? Child predators like the ones that were busted in this sting.

“Really you all *applaud* this? It's sickening. “

*Claps very VERY loudly and enthusiastically* Fucking right I applaud them. Personally, I think you are sickening for thinking otherwise.

June, I hope these cops are getting paid tripple time…thats how much it bothers me. Now that I think about it, its prob for the pedo protection that the cameras are there filming cause if it were me making those arrests, those men might not be fortunate enough to ever see handcuffs.

You can't trust many people now a days. Especially when you have kids…..

Welcome to the internet, where men are men, women are men, and children are FBI agents.

But, as Chris Hansen intones at the start of every episode, they were really just paying Perverted Justice “to do what it usually does – track down online predators.”

I understand where you are coming from but the fact is, the police exposed their depravity before they committed their crimes against children. For this, they can spend all the time and money they want into nabbing these sick $u%@s.

It appears to me that by making these arrests they “investing” in child abuse prevention. These sick bastards were arrested because they responded to a Craigslist ad or thur a chat room um ——- obviously these guys already knew where to look to fulfill their deviant desires or they would have never stumbled upon this gem of an operation.
What's sickening is molesting a child even more sickening defending the creeps that set out with the intent to molest a child.

You seem generally with it (although I can tell we are political polar opposites based on your apparent bias against prison privatization, but I digress…); how you, an internet user, can think internet chat rooms are somehow LESS opportune than Disney World is beyond me. Been reading this site for long? There are plenty of stories of sick fucks who've used the internet to successfully prey upon children. Hell, there have been the real life versions of the sting described in this article – sick fucks who have found actual mothers via the internet who are intent on pimping out their pre-pubescent child.

So, while I would generally agree with your “One in the hand is worth two in the bush” style logic, internet solicitation is real and ever-increasing in frequency. I question the “preventive” actions of police, but cases like this are generally straightforward and, no, I don't take issue with them at this point. After all, if you're worried about wasted resources or creating criminals, the drug war deserves your attention far more at this point.

for you to sit there and think that's sickening.. scares me. You must be all for it. there's no other explanation why you would defend such acts in my mind.

Exactly. The “opportunity” of which June speaks “presents itself” all the time. Luckily, in these cases, it was not a true opportunity.
