Yuck!
A guy I used to work with, a defense attorney (yes, you read that correctly), was picked up at a gas station where he was going to meet a 15 yr old girl. Of course the girl was actually a cop. Typical Chris Hansonish scenario-online chat, emailing of **** photos to the "girl". agreement to meet. "Are U a cop" "no ru?" typical bull****.
Charged with attempted sexual misconduct with minor-B felony (6-20yrs)
2 C felonies of solicitation (2-8)
1 D felony (penis email) (.5-3)
2 A misdemeanors-found weed and a pipe in the home when recovering his pc (no child porn recovered yet, but its probably inevitable)
He worked where I did for about a year before I left a few months ago, and I only ever recall saying a few things to him, (ie-not someone I think I've had beers or lunch with), but damn. Its just so surreal to see the mugshot of someone you know charged with something like that. DUIs, whatever. Weed, whatever. But Child solicitation! Damn. Just bizarre to throw your life away like that. Get up on a sunday, hey, president's day 3 day weekend. Light up a joint, cyber with an underage girl, agree to meet. WTF. Suspended from work without pay. Probable jail. Definite convicted felon and disbarrment.
I'm glad he didn't actually molest anyone, then it obviously wouldn't be funny at all.
Do you know anyone ever charged with something like this? Its really one thing to watch the predator show on tv, quite another to know someone caught up in a similar sting. very very surreal.
