Today is Martin Luther King Jr. Day. A day to think about your rights. Our lives begin to end the day we become silent about things that matter. Life’s most persistent and urgent question, ‘What are you doing for others? Injustice anywhere is a threat to justice everywhere. It is time to fight against these… Read More »
Guilty: Surprised and Upset! A 35 year old IT Technician found guilty in Nov 2018 WA trial. Guilty of two charges but the jury was hung on the more serious Attempt Rape of a Child in 2nd Degree. How about a 71 year old? Yes a 71 year old was found guilty. This is almost… Read More »
Stings/Traps or what many would call entrapment has been going on thousands of years. Look in the Bible under Matthew 12:15 and you’ll read the Pharisees went out and laid plans to trap him [Jesus] in his words. Not much has changed since then. We see this with scammers, politics and these sex sting operations.… Read More »
The Stings Continue We are closing in on 500 stings arrest this year–when you include big ones I find. I know there are MANY more out there. I’m sure many states are arresting 10-100 people each year (at least) so when I say 500, that is probably under reported by 2-10x that amount. I suspect… Read More »
Back to school time! Time for the big stings! Several new stings are reeling in the predators left and right. Not to be outdone it appears New Jersey and Arizona jumped into the act capturing 24 in each of their stings. I’m thinking there must be some kind of quota. Some kind of goal to… Read More »

He said to the woman, “Did God really… Read More »
Another big sting out of Washington State captured another 21 men including TWO 19 year olds (Net Nanny 13). Really? It seems these sting operations are changing. They use to be a Mother offering up her kids. Now it seems like it is a teenage girl (~13) doing the bait and switch. Most of the… Read More »
We are now at the end of July and well on our way to surpassing last years (at least what I have recorded) arrest numbers. High visibility with the me too movement and all these sexual allegations among known/popular individuals have apparently fed into these operations. It is kind of like the saying “The beatings… Read More »
June has arrived and with it the end of the school year for many. Even with Craigslist and Backpage out the stings continue. It appears they are mostly using online Apps and Social Media. Remember, there is lots of funding for these things, upwards of $500k per state. It looks like this year will surpass… Read More »
Good news. President Trump (thank you) did sign the FOSTA-SESTA Bill last week (11-Apr-2018). This will shutdown the Craigslist personals and the Backpage.com website was seized (founder will also serve some time in prison for money laundering). This will be one less avenue for police to conduct their sting operations and one less avenue to… Read More »
