Multiple Arrests Made in Child Exploitation Operation

Major Crimes Division detectives from the Child Exploitation Unit recently conducted a three-day operation targeting online sexual predators.

Detectives, posing as juveniles, went online and within a very short period of time, received solicitations and sexually explicit images from men wanting to meet the “child” for the purpose of engaging in inappropriate sexual activity. The suspect and “child” would arrange a time and place to meet and when the suspect arrived, he was taken into custody.

The hard work of our detectives, along with those from the Loudoun County Sheriff’s Office and Special Agents with the Federal Bureau of Investigation , resulted in the arrest of eight offenders. Approximately 25 local and federal criminal charges were placed, including, solicitation of a minor, solicitation of a minor for prostitution, attempted indecent liberties with a minor (including a registered sex offender), and drug possession charges.

Seven suspects are listed below; the eighth has been intentionally withheld due to an ongoing investigation.

Arrest photographs appear below the name of the arrested.

Detectives want to emphasize, especially to parents, this type of crime is prevalent within our community. They encourage you to closely monitor your child’s online activity; not only for predators who want to engage in physical contact, but also for those who wish to send or receive pornographic images from children.

MSNBC used to have a show called ‘To catch a Predator’ that they played on weekends which showed man after man lured by the phony bait into these traps.

They had to be pretty stupid, and uncontrolled.

Just kill them.

I recall that many of them had terribly lame excuses for why they would appear at a rendezvous with condoms, booze, drugs, etc.

“Uh, I was on my way to a friend’s house when I found this stuff on the street. yeah, that’s the ticket!”

Naturally, the illegal aliens will have to be released from custody immediately.

Yeah, one of the perps was a balding 66 yo medical doctor, who cried after they arrested him, claiming his life was over. He had a family and was a pillar of the community, with everything to lose.

It shows what an uncontrollable sickness it is that the doctor would risk his life walking into an obvious trap. And why it's said that they can't be “cured”. He killed himself a while after that. Good riddance.

Discriminatory and sexist

And msnbc had to take it off the air, due to overreaching by Chris Hansen/son et al

"Hey! Hey! I'm an illegal alien too! Yeah! They got my name wrong! It's not Steven Hill! It's uh, Esteban Colina! Yeah yeah! That's the ticket!"

Wonder what they would do when Podesta showed up?
