I have no idea. But I would be inclined to say yes.The fact that he was online looking for this type of thing shows his intent. He thought it was a child..... his plan was to meet the child......so the fact that it turned out to be a cop doesn't change anything. He was trolling for kids. That it was a cop doesn't matter since he thought it was a child he was talking to.....he made the choice. See what I mean? If he wasn't online looking to hook up with kids, he would never encountered the cop..

I think that what the mayor did is sick, but I agree with you. In a lot of these cases, we cannot say for sure whether it still would have happened at some point. I think that, in general, we may in fact be creating these crimes by simply giving them the opportunity to flower. If you put an undercover agent on a street, posing as a prostitute, and wait for guys to approach her before arresting them, one must ask: Are we certain the person who approached the prostitute would have done it anyway eventually without our being involved? I don't think we can be certain, and thus, that's why I'm opposed to these kind of criminal justice practices.


That's a good point, Johnny. Having done a bit of undercover prostitution work myself (don't laugh), I can tell you it's a fine line. The undercover operative is not supposed to initiate contact with the john, nor is she supposed to be the first to talk about sex for money. Not only that, but any department doing this kind of sting usually doesn't want the woman dressing overly provocative for the very reason you describe. Frankly, I say legalize prostitution already...lol....but that's more off topic than I've already gone.

As for this mayor, sounds like he made some overt act to actually meet with this underage operative. That, accompanied by any previous statements regarding sexual acts he may have made to this person, likely sealed the deal for this dude. What a creep.....and there are many, many more.....not just in Georgia, either......LOL

Another case of child sex against high ranking officials . Sad too see such men with high power behave in such a way. They are suppose to set strong role model stance so the rest of the young politicians to follow . How can these fetishes with children over power there social moral responsibilities . We need some sirt of biological test to weed them out. Nd keep them far away from high position powers nd access to kids !





P.s would love to see u in one of those catwomen outfits for Halloween :p u sexy little minx lol

I still think we're playing god. I didn't just arrive at this viewpoint today.

That's exactly what happened. He had been corresponding with the "child" for some time and could have stopped anytime. But he took that final step. Good riddance I say.

The prostitution raides has been going for a few years already, a few of my husband co-workers were arrested and escorted from the military base where he works at recently, computers taken and all, including home computers.

We know personally one of the arrestees that was an ex Marine like my husband we never in our wildest dreams thought that he was into child pornography.

We found out after knowing him for 15 years, even his wife didn't know anything about it and I believe her, she is hart broken about the whole thing he was always involved with his boys on all kind of youth activities.

He got 10 years and can not use a computer without monitoring and will have DNA test every year for life.

He has two boys and my son used to spend most of his childhood and teen years in their home, but he wasn't into boys but girls.

He was caught sending a pornographic video oversea. The details of the case no even his wife knows or is allowed to know.

Sad.

How is that playing God? I don't get it. He committed a crime, was caught, and will have his day in court. All they need is intent.....and he had it. I know I don't go online talking to kids and arranging meetings.....neither would most people. He did.....his purpose for that was clear.

Good Lord knows what he's probably done prior to this, too. Surely this isn't his first experience in this arena.....

Actually we found out that what made the case worst for him is when he send the video oversea, we don't know if it was a video of him with his birthday suit or something else, but that made him violate some international laws that we have in the US.

Still details are very sketchy.

The other worker my husband knows that got arrested at the same time he made a date through the Internet with a minor while working in the base using military equipment.

Now that is the dumbest of all.

That is very sad. I feel sorry for any woman who is completely unaware of her husband's activities in this regard.

I tell you what whatever he was doing he was very private at it, like I say I never saw him acting in any way sick around the girls in our family groups, he used to joke with the girls including my daughter but never anything like touching or excessive attention.

But is something my daughter told me when she found out about him (she said that she was never comfortable around him when she was a teen) and we were doing family activities that included other family and children as we did all the time.

When she said that I ask her why she never said anything, she said that she felt like that with most of the older men at the time, (she is now 27).

I tell you sometimes our children can feel when something is not right.

That's what I mean. He knew what he was doing. People don't just wake up one day and say "I'm going trolling for children"....nope.....it's likely behavior he has had for most of his life.

One thing I know from my former job is that these guys are good at disguising their true intentions (as are most criminals). That's how they win the trust of the kids. They are master manipulators and superb liars.

In the UK speaking to a child for the purpose of 'grooming' for exploitation and abuse is illegal. Rightly so.

For anyone who takes advantage of the first opportunity they are faced with to commit such a crime, it is better all round if the opportunity is a 'fit up'. It is better for the potential victims and better for the potential perp. The chance that a perp is caught in this way on the first offence is negligible but it is better these people are stopped before the life of a child is ruined.

I think that this type of thing may deter perps from attempting to contact children.

Now we have to ensure that children get far better protection in their own homes, the homes of friends, family and in our neighbourhoods. Educating children to protect themselves by screaming and staying in numbers helps..

I long for a time when we can trust each other and not have to worry about our young becoming prey to these animals.

So do I....but with it so readily available thanks to the internet, I don't see it going away. They no longer have to risk being caught buying this stuff in person or through the mail. What you said about arrests deterring the abusers....is true for only a very few though. A true pedophile will never stop, and sadly, they will take risks to do what they want. They know there is a risk of being caught, but it's not enough to stop them.

Yes love, I know. I currently have two family members awaiting prosecution.

As much as I love them and as much as it pains me, I hope they throw away the key.
