Predator Cops Caught Entrapping Innocent Men On Dating Sites (Video)
(N.Morgan) In the cyber world anyone can be anyone they choose. They can lie and deceive to accomplish whatever goals they are seeking. This realm of virtual meeting has become a new pathway for child predators and rapists. What happens when law enforcement abuse this shady trick? When they trap innocent people into things that they normally wouldn’t be involved in? The new law enforcers are doing just that, conning innocent me by posing as young girls, only they will lie about their age and con the men into believing they are older than they are. What legal recourse would one have against having their entire lives ruined?
WTSP reports:
POLK COUNTY, Florida – In the decade since Chris Hansen and “To Catch a Predator” popularized Internet sex stings, more than 1,200 men in Florida alone have been arrested, accused of preying on underage teens and children for sex. But as the stings put more and more men behind bars, detectives are working harder and harder to keep up their arrest numbers. And the tactics they’re using to put alleged sexual offenders in jail are sweeping up large numbers of law-abiding men, too.
A yearlong investigation by 10 Investigates reveals many of the men whose mugshots have been paraded out by local sheriffs in made-for-TV press conferences were not seeking to meet children online. Instead, they were minding their own business, looking for other adults, when detectives started to groom and convince them to break the law. While detectives used to post ads suggesting an underage teen or child was available for sex, they now routinely post more innocuous personal ads of adults on traditional dating sites. When men – many of them under 25 with no criminal history – respond, officers switch the bait and typically indicate their age is really 14 or 15 years old. However, sometimes the storyline isn’t switched until the men, who were looking for legal love, already start falling for the undercover agent.
According to arrest affidavits inspected by 10 Investigates, law enforcement is also now routinely making first contact with men who have done nothing wrong, responding to their ads on dating sites like PlentyOfFish.com. After men start conversing with what they think are adults, officers change the age they claim to be, but try to convince the men to continue the conversation anyway. Other examples include undercover officers showing interest in a man, then later introducing the idea of having sex with the undercover’s “child.” If the men indicate they weren’t interested, they were still often arrested for just talking to the adult.
The only predators in these cases are the cops themselves. Be sure to read the full story, it gets even worse.

I’m Chris Hansen with Dateline NBC and we’re doing a story on adults who try to meet kids online for sex. Now, if there’s anything else you’d like to tell us, we’d be more than happy to hear it. Otherwise, you’re free to walk out of that door.”
